By default, iPhone native mail app downloads mail from all synced mail
accounts.

If you want to down only your Gmail account, you can download and try
GMailApp from App Stores

But with the mail app you can easily select just the mail account you want to check. It's pretty simple. No need for a new app to use.

I got lost with the last 3 replies. Roger, which mail app are you talking about? The native iPhone app?

To address just downloading the gmail accts, I have email accounts with 3 different isps. So being able to pick and choose from my gmail accounts does help but there are still the other accts that I am trying to cherry pick mail from.

You can go to Settings/Mail and selectively disable/activate the accounts
you want by turning them OFF or ON before you go to the iPhone mail app. If
you have Gmail collecting all of your mail from the other accounts and then
forwarding them to you via Gmail then you will need to change your settings
in Gmail.

I am talking about the native app.
I am not sure why anyone has a hard time managing their email.
Select which ISP you want to check and scroll through your emails.
No different than a desktop mail app!

Clean up the accounts regularly so it doesn't become overwhelming.

That's all the advice I can offer.

Roger

You can set up gmail so that it pulls the mail from your other isp's and
then set labels for each source. I do this. Then you use the gmail free app
and the mail from each isp is in a separate label as well as the inbox. You
can then look at each one you want to or all at once.
