Syncing delete function for email on iPad and iPhone

When I delete mail from one device, iPhone, why doesn’t it delete from the iPad? They are both new versions.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hi 1234rik,

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Wondering if, (and in which way) you are syncing eMail between devices.


Eg: If you are using iCloud to sync. you may need up-to-date software.

You may need to update to the latest updates on both your iPhone and iPad.


Trouble-shooting:

Email stopped syncing across devices - Apple Community

If you rely on the eMail server for the sync.,

you may need to restart the device that doesn't show the recent deletions,

in order for them to be shown.


(ie: Deletions may only show on the device that is active, until the other device has an opportunity to refresh Mail ... bring the eMails up-to-date.)


All the best :-)
