Who is your email provider ?

Does the email provider use the IMAP Protocol ?

Using IMAP Protocol would mean, whatever is reflected on the email Provider would be reflect back onto the iPad and Laptop

Example could be Apple iCloud Mail account

Apps and features that use iCloud

Send and receive iCloud Mail on all your devices and keep Mail settings up to date
