download iPad User Guide for iOS 5 from the iBooks store link.
Both are free and contain everything you ever wanted to know about your iPad and iOS 5

If you are asking how to add another mail account to the iPad, that is done in the Settings App.

If you mean adding another mailbox in an existing account, in addition to the Inbox and Deleted box, I don't think that is possible.

Adding additional mailboxes

Thanks for your reply! I think what I'm asking is to add folders and organize the incoming mail. However, I think you are correct; iOS 5 does not seem to have a way to do this. Surprise! But, then, nothing is perfect!
