Email is not directly synchronised between devices. Instead, you must add your email account(s) to each device with which you intend to access your email. As such, assuming that your Mail Provider is using IMAP or POP3 mailboxes, your iPad and iPhone both synchronise via the mail server.


Add an email account - Apple Support


As for Messages, these are synchronised between iPad and iPhone using iCloud.


On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
