I am posting this problem again. Hopefully I will make it clearer and not get rude smart *** responses. I have iPad 2. IOS 9.2.1. I use a Verizon POP account for my mail and I spent an hour on the phone with Verizon with no resolution . I have suddenly got 9,999 emails in my INBOX, most of which were deleted a year ago. I delete them all from the INBOX and TRASH and they reappear in the INBOX within a couple of minutes. It also happens with new mail.

You said this in your last attempt to get help.
It is a POP account. And it is set up to receive like attachment. I have not deleted and then add because I am afraid to mess up my mail ok my MAC.
I understand your reluctance, but you will not mess up the mail on the Mac if you delete the account on the iPad. I have deleted email accounts both IMAP and POP on my iOS devices without affecting anything on my Mac.
It appears as though you have the settings correct from what I saw in your screenshot, but I think that deleting the account and starting over again would be a good idea since nothing else is working.
Let's start here ..... You say that you spent an hour on the phone with Verizon with no resolution, but I would like to know what Verizon told you.
Well, all Verizon had me do was go to settings and change many different settings in the ADVANCED section. Reboot my iPad and nothing worked. To be honest I hung up on them because we were going around in circles. Now, I did delete the account and then added it again and nothing. That was yesterday. DO you want a screen shot of my ADVANCED screen in settings?
I saw the screenshot that you posted in this discussion. EmailIt wouldn't hurt to post a screenshot again and see if the settings are the same, so take another one, post it and we will go from there.
These are the newest screen shots.

Just so that you know, I asked the hosts to edit your name and email address from the first screenshot. I just wanted to see the advanced settings where nothing personal is revealed. Those settings look OK to me.
If you look at the "delete from Server" setting of NEVER... this may be part of your issue.
This is set to tell the mail server to never delete your emails, even if you delete them from this iPad. This would explain why these emails keep coming back.
You are telling the iPad to remove deleted messages every day, but telling the server to never remove them.
The problem is resolved. I hope. I deleted the account again. Turned off my iPad. Waited 10 minutes. Turned it back on and installed my Verizon account again. Some of the settings have changed and I just left them as is. I received new mail only and all deleted and did not come back. It has been an hour since I did this and so far so good. Fingers crossed. Tha you Demo and LACAllen for you assistance. Still don't know what happene.
You're welcome. I hope that it stays resolved and continues to work as it should.
