The Apple Mail app is a versatile app that allows you to view all of your email accounts in one place. When you find yourself no longer using an account, however, you can simply remove it through the Settings app on your iPhone.
Most people have multiple email accounts, and at the bare minimum have a personal account and a work account. Apple's Mail app allows you to sync these together — which you can also do on Outlook or Gmail — instead of downloading the separate apps for each.
To remove an email address, you can access account details in your Settings app. From there, you can also choose what data you'd like to sync the account with — including your calendars and contacts.
If you ever want to add an email account back, you can easily do so from your iPhone. You can also do this from your iPad.
Here's how to remove an account.
