any body with freeserve email address and has IPAD

After upgrading to IOS 8.3 on my IPAD, I can only have one email account. If I add an account for my wife, I get error message : "cannot get email, the account is in use on another device", where previously I had two accounts without any problems. Both email accounts are pop and has freeserve as part of the address.
I cannot find an answer on line. I tried Apple store, needless to say they refer me to Orange/EE. I think the new update has altered or added some extra security settings.

I use Mymail on my Andriod phones and tablets for all my mail addresses. Seems it's available on the Apple store, as are many more apps I expect.

Do you and your wife share the same mailbox, with diff names before the '@' of the same username? Maybe that's what it's getting confused by?

It's peculiar that any mail app would be limited to only 1 email a/c. As said look for another mail app.

The answer to your question is yes.

What exactly is your problem?

I actually collect email via fetchmail on a Debian (linux) server but view on my iPad. Can have a "play", if you advise further.

I have used the mail app provided by apple on the IPAD. Go to settings> mail> etc. As I said in my post the email account was functioning ok for both myself and wife till the update of IOS 8.3. Obviously if I have used a different mail client, probably I would have been OK. It is irritating, you follow the upgrade and troubles follow.

Over what network is the iPad operating? If it is a mobile network, you are using the port 587 SMTP, I hope?

I think it's a POP3 problem - port 110/995

It may very well be a POP3 problem but OP indicates that it is a setting-up issue not a run-time issue. Often giving the wrong port nos. causes the initial configuration to fail. Hence I reminded OP of EE's SMTP port when not using EE BB network.

Freeserve email doesn't use an POP3 port of 995 as you indicate. You are confusing it with GMail or Hotmail/Live.
