Emails not showing up on my iPad but they are on my iPhone. HELP

I have not had any of my emails to show up on my ipad but they are coming in on my iPhone. What do I need to do to fix this issue? I read an article entitled “If you don’t receive your emails on your iPhone, ipad, etc.” and did all of those suggestions. What else can I do?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

Has you email provider (undeclared) switched to using App Specific Passwords? If so, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. As examples - AOL, Yahoo and Google all use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.


If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page.
