Use IMAP for your mail and you can have both devices synchronised
simultaneously all the time.

Everything can be synchronised simultaneously by using iCloud which
comes free with your devices. You simply need an internet connection
either with your phone or an iPad version that has mobile connection.

It is really that simple.
