How to Configure Your iPad for email
It is really simple to link your email account to the iPad because it comes pre-installed with an email client on the device. If you prefer not to download a new email client for your preferred provider (such as Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft), you can simply add the account to your existing mail client. If you have a large number of email addresses, this is a helpful feature.
- On iOS 15, go to Settings > Mail > Accounts and select the account you want to use. Depending on your iOS version, you may need to go to Settings > Passwords and Accounts before you can change your password.
- Select Add Account from the drop-down menu.
- Make a decision on an email service provider for the account you intend to use.
- Log in to your account using your email address and password to confirm your registration.
- When prompted, select Next, and then wait for Mail to authenticate your account information.
- If you are required to save the account after connecting, select Save. When you’re finished, you’ll be linked and your mail should be visible in your Mail app.
