Hi KerryAnn, Mail is definitely one of those things that’s more efficient on the Mac. Remember that the iPad uses containers, so you’ll have one thing, for example your message list, in one, and then the currently open message in another. Honestly, when I’m working in Mail, I often use a combination of the keyboard and just touching the screen if I want to move quickly from one container to another.
I hope that helps. If you want to let us know specifically what your problems are in Mail and Pages, we can probably help you a little better.
