Cant receive email since Inbox was overloaded with 100's of emails

Question

A few days ago I received over a 100 spam emails onto my ipad 2 (my website had been hacked by a computer and was generated spam emails, we've since stopped it) and the ipad couldnt download them all at once, they were coming in so fast locking up the screen---the ipad could not think fast enough and deleting them one by one became very slow. Thinking my ipad memory was overloaded with emails, I deleted all these bogus smam emails from the inbox then also deleted the trash can. i owned the ipad since almost a year and have never deleted the trash can, I never thought to do it.
Since then my ipad is not fetching the emails that are going onto my PC.
PC--Outlook 2003 is receiving emails off the server even when I have the program closed. I took the habit of closing it down each time I walk away from it so that I can get my emails onto my ipad in the rest of the house. But since a few days even when I close outlook, the emails are downloading becuase I can hear the ping sound for incoming mail, from elsewhere in the house. I cant figure out why, when I close down outlook, it is still functioning.
I powered down my ipad, that didnt work.
Is it my ipad or is it my PC that is interfering with the emails downloading onto my ipad?
Should I reset my email account on my ipad?
Should I reset my settings and how do I do that as there are about 7 reset choices?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
my ipad 2 is less than a year old. I do not know what operating system it has.

Hi,
Reset was done already. I narrowed it down to my PC MS outlook program. When I shut down my PC the outlook program turned off, enabling new incoming emails to come to my iPad. Thanks Problem solved.
