Mail on iPad

If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.

If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would have synced to the device when you created the account on the iPad.

No, that's not possible. The way that the iPac mail app works is a good bit different than the Mac Mail client.

I have some folders on my Mac in a POP account and those folders are only for local storage on the Mac. They will not sync to the iPad, because the account is not an IMAP account. If your email account was IMAP, those folders would have already appeared on the iPad when you set the account up the first time.

Maybe I am missing something, but if the folders that you have on the Mac - are the same folders that you have on the server in your IMAP email account - those folders should sync to your iPad.

That is the issue, then. You can't create folders with POP3.
