Does anyone know what I did and how can I get my mail back up

Welcome!

Try a re-boot...

Push the on/off button, and the main button (the one you use for everything) at the same time and hold.... until the slider appears. Slide to turn you iPad all the way off. After it shuts down (about 15 seconds or so) press and hold the on/off button until you see the little Apple icon. After it all comes back up try your email again.....

If that does not work, you may have to do a restore in iTunes....

Also, please let us know if that works, that way it may help someone else.....
