* IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is best if you check email from multiple devices, because your messages are stored with your email provider until you delete them. As long as your devices can connect to your email service, your mailbox stays the same on each device.
If you use POP (Post Office Protocol) on more than one device, those changes don’t appear on every device, and new messages delivered to one device may not be delivered to your other devices.

- Now, make sure the IMAP option is selected. Fill in the required fields and press the Next button when finished.

- You will now be returned to the Mail, Contact, Calendars screen where you will now see your new email account.
- That’s it! You have now setup email on your iPad.
