What type of account are you using. If it is an IMAP or Exchange account, simply move all the folders you want to keep synced from the local Mac to the account server.

With Mail on the Mac, this is easy to tell. If a folder is under the list header that says ON MY MAC, that is where it will stay. This is local storage on the computer. To move this folder onto the sever simply drag it to the section for that account.

For Trash, Sent, Junk, or Drafts folders go to Preferences, Choose the account, and change each of them to Store on Server under the MailBox Behaviors.

Note, on the iPad these may or may not be the same folders, ie, you may see more than one folder with a similar name under your iPad's account. If you go to your account settings and dig down to the Advanced settings you may (or may not) be able to change which folder the iPad uses by default.
