Deleting and re-adding your email account is sometimes the easiest way to resolve a problem with a specific Mail account. After deleting the account, perform a forced restart before re-adding the email account to your iPad.


  • Delete account:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Mail Account] > Delete Account


  • Force restart the iPad:

  • Add Mail Account:
