If you have multiple Email Accounts, you can add them all to the Mail App on iPhone and access them from within the Mail App, without the need login to individual email accounts.
When Multiple Email Accounts are added to iPhone, it automatically creates Folders and names them after the service provider of your Email Account.
For example, the Mail App will create Folders named as Gmail and Outlook or Hotmail, when you add both your Gmail and Outlook or Hotmail account to iPhone.
This ensures that all your Email Accounts are properly segregated and there is no mix up or confusion while sending and receiving Email Messages from your iPhone.
