I have recently installed the new eM Client mobile app on my iPad. I transferred my email data from my laptop using the Q system (I can’t remember the correct name). Everything seems to have copied to my iPad except my own folder titles and emails therein I have on my laptop in Local Folders. The Local Folder and In Box headings are there but not the personal folder headings and emails I have on my laptop. Can I get these onto my iPad, and if so, how?

If you have messages in your Local Folders in eM Client for desktop and you setup the iOS mobile app using the QR Export, it will import all your account configurations and tags etc, but not the messages from the desktop Local Folders as they are “only locally on that device” and not cloud acct messages.
So to get a copy of those same desktop Local folder messages and message folders you will need to copy those desktop local folder messages exactly as they are “to one of your cloud email accounts”.
Then once those local folder messages are under one of your cloud accounts on your desktop, then click the Refresh button at the top left which will then sync those messages to your online cloud acct mailbox.
Next close and reopen your iOS eM Client app and refresh the app by eg: swiping down in All Inboxes or Inbox, which will then sync those uploaded Local folder messages from your cloud online mailbox back to your iOS device account in eM Client.
Lastly once you see those Local folder messages in the same cloud account on your iOS device, you can then move them to Local Folders in the eM Client iOS app which should then be exactly the same.
Ultimately though to avoid that lengthy process again, “if you don’t have too much in Local Folders” on your desktop, you might choose to just keep all messages in a cloud account mailbox in a folder. That way your desktop and iOS device will always be the same.
