Hi La-tigre,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. What type of email account are you using to store the mailboxes? If you're using iCloud Mail and it is turned on to sync with iCloud, you can simply turn on iCloud Mail on the new iPad by going to Settings > Your name > iCloud > iCloud Mail > Turn on "Use on this iPad." Here's more information: Set up iCloud Mail on all your devices - Apple Support


Kind regards.

Hello La-tigre,


We'd like to learn more about your question to see if we can help out. To clarify a bit, your profile shows you're using an iPad with iOS 9. Is that correct? We ask as iOS 9 is quite a bit older, so some of the settings and features will different when compared to more recent versions like iPadOS 16.


Are you asking about how to create a folder that you can use to organize email? If so, this resource is your best guide, keeping in mind that the steps may vary if you are using older software: Organize email in mailboxes on iPad - Apple Support


The steps below will show you how to create a new mailbox, which is the equivalent of a folder:


"Organize your mail with mailboxes

You can choose which mailboxes to view, reorder your mailboxes, create new ones, or rename or delete mailboxes. (Some mailboxes can’t be changed.)

To organize your mailboxes, tap the Show Sidebar button in the upper-left corner, tap Edit, then do any of the following:

  • View mailboxes: Select the checkboxes next to the mailboxes you want to include in the mailboxes list.
  • Reorder mailboxes: Touch and hold the Reorder button next to a mailbox until it lifts up, then drag it to the new position.
  • Create a new mailbox: Tap New Mailbox in the lower-right corner, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Rename a mailbox: Tap the mailbox, then tap the title. Delete the name, then enter a new name.
  • Delete a mailbox: Tap the mailbox, then tap Delete Mailbox."


Once you've created a mailbox, you'd use the steps below to move email to it:


"Move or mark multiple emails

  1. While viewing a list of emails, tap Edit.
  2. Select the emails you want to move or mark by tapping their checkboxes.
  3. To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes.
  4. Tap Mark, Move, or Trash at the bottom of the screen.
  5. If you change your mind, immediately swipe left with three fingers to undo."


We hope that helps. Have a good day!

ryane 77, Thanks for your reply. I have a new iPad 9th gen that I am switching to. Before I do I want to clear things off the old one. I have a folder in my mailbox that has a collection of emails I would like to keep and was hoping there was a way to save them without printing them out - there are over 200 of them.
