The mails Will be received when mail box is turned as on in all of them , Set up iCloud Mail on all your devices - Apple Support

Also the mail accounts should be added in each device Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

When mails are received at iCloud server , they will be received in all of your devices , essentially the device should have same Apple ID and password on the same and on the same network , the Apple ID will be example1@icloud.com

In case if mails are received from gmail / yahoo server they will not sync directly from server and scattered in individual devices , however they will be received in only primary device .

You delete gmail message from device " A " it will be deleted from it , but will not be deleted from device " B " as it works like this only for web mail accounts .

How to transfer mails from Mac to iPhone / iPad , even they are signed in with same Apple ID and password say example1@icloud.com 

In iPhone go to settings > in password and accounts > click on add account you can select the desired account it could be iCloud , enter iCloud mail address and password and sign in it will prompt to check calendar , mail , notes , slide the box of it the apps data will start syncing .

there is an option fetch new data - push > in iPhone 

You can connect the iPhone and Mac using usb cable and sync them Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi - Apple Support

Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

The mails from Mac / iPhone will sync and take time ( the fast way is sync complete data ) they will be mirrored , you delete a mail from Mac it deletes in iPhone , make sure all the mails should be read ( no blue dots on each mail message ) Mark emails as read or unread in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
