Setting up the mail app on my phone followed these aol instructions. However, my iPad shows a completely different screen. How do I set it up?

How do I set up the mail app on my iPad? The iOS was updated 2/17/21. Set up instructions I followed are supposed to be for an iPhone and iPad. However, the iPad mail set up doesn't show any accounts to set up. Don't know where to go.

Thanks. After I sent our the query, I discovered that the iPad settings are in a separate file than those of my iPhone. The account settings are actually under "passwords." Once I was in that file I was able to set up the mail app as I did on the iPhone. The challenge was that I'd been using the mail app for years, when suddenly AOL blocked it. Now back to normal. Thanks
