If either of your devices are using POP3 instead of the much newer IMAP mailboxes, your devices will not synchronise your email via the Mail server.
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 the device. As your email is kept on your Mail Provider's Mail Server until you intentionally delete email from your mailbox(es), nothing will be lost.
- Delete account:
Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Mail Account] > Delete Account
- Force restart the iPad:
Force restart iPad - Apple Support
- Add Mail Account:
Settings > Mail > Add Account
Be aware that some email providers now require the use of App Specific Passwords when accessing mail over IMAP or POP3. If this applies to your email account, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. As examples - AOL, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft all use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.
If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page.
