Takes all the mail, notepad, calanders and a few other apps in it. i was going to delete the yahoo one to make Verizon account but it says if I delete my Yahoo mail account it deletes whatever is on my note pad. Etc.So does anyone know i can switch this. Please n Thank You.

Go to settings>Mail and scroll down the page till you see the section called Default Account. Click on this and you will see all your mail accounts listed. Check the account you wish to be your default account.

Open Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calenders->under mail scroll down to Default Account which will say Yahoo. Tap on it & choose Verizon. Now whenever you start an email, the default 'from' will be your Verizon email.

You can make one account your Default account. But the Default account is the one used to SEND mail. Your iPad will continue to receive mail from both accounts.
