Next, we will configure your iPad to sync your various IMAP folders and prevent duplicate folders from showing up. We call this Folder Mapping; below are the steps to do so.
- Within the Mail settings window, select the account that you just added.
- Under IMAP, tap Account
Within the account settings, select Advanced at the bottom
Under MAILBOX BEHAVIORS, select Sent Mailbox
Select the appropriate folder under ON THE SERVER.
Now repeat the previous step for Deleted Mailbox. Ignore the Archive Mailbox, it won't be used.
Last step! Make sure Deleted Mailbox is selected under MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO. This will ensure deleted messages go to the Deleted Mailbox folder.
Now you're done! Go back to the home screen and launch the Mail app. Your email should appear within a few minutes, depending on the amount of items to sync. Note: If you have a large mailbox, it may take several minutes before email appears. Please wait at least 15 minutes before troubleshooting.
