Hi
I’ve got a new iPad and although I’ve set everything up correctly I’m having some issues.
If I read a mail on my iPhone it still shows as unread on iPad even after several hours it’s the same
Does the issue persist? If so, you may need to check whether the email account is configured on IMAP or POP protocol on the device. For example, you can send a test email to this email account, then go to receive and open this email on iPhone. After that go to access this email account on a computer using a web browser, see if the email has been marked as Read or not. Use the same method to test the email account on iPad. If email on iPhone get synced with mail server, not on iPad, then it should be a problem with the email settings on iPad.
