E Mail from I Pad

How can I E Mail from my I Pad..

Not certain what you mean. Do you mean how can you read email on your iPad, or how can you send email?

Either way: Just configure your email provider (iCloud, Gmail, what-have-you) into the Mail app. For most of the common providers: All you have to do is select the provider, enter your email address and password, done!

For "non-standard" email providers, the configuration is a bit trickier, and requires knowing a bit of what you're about.

We had a Bellsouth.net account. Of course ATT. took over. We get our E Mail at @ Bellsouth.net. We can get our E Mails on the computer, but not if it is sent from the I Pad. They seem to go into lala land.

Then I would suggest you have the account mis-configured on your iPad. I have an iCloud account, a Gmail account and (looks...), yes, two "generic" IMAP/submission accounts configured into the Mail app on both 2017 9.7" iPad and iPhone 6S. They all work flawlessly.

I've got Gmail and one of the same "generic" IMAP/submission servers (our home server--I run my own mail server) also configured into my wife's 2017 9.7" iPad. Works fine.

I can't help you with the "at&t"/BellSouth mail server config. I don't know how they have their stuff set up. (Incompetently, if my experience with the thing that calls itself "at&t," these days, is any guide, but, that's a rant for another day.)

I am considering going to G Mail. How much of a problem would that be. I want to keep the (@bellsouth.net address)

With a GMail account your address would be @ gmail.com, but you could link another email address to it.

 

[William Preto]

How does that work? If I E Mail someone would it get to them as @GMail.com?

 

[Jupiter7]

If you sent an email to someone, the address it would show would be either the gmail one or the one associated with it, according to how you you sent it.

1. Sign in to My Account.
2. In the "Personal info & privacy" section, select Your personal info.
3. Choose Email
   
   Advanced.
4. Next to "Alternate emails," select Add alternate email. Enter an email address you own and select Add.
