    Hello Trotta1,

     

    It sounds like you are suddenly unable to send or receive emails on your iPad. I found this article to help you troubleshoot the issue you are having, named:

    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail

    1. Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
      • Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
        1. Try a different Wi-Fi connection
        2. If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
        3. If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    2. Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    3. Restart your iOS device.
    4. Delete the affected email account from your device.
      • Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
      • Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
      • Add your account again.
