When you add your Google account or any other account on your iPhone or iPad in the Settings app, your email account is also added in the Mail app (if it were a Google account, your Gmail account would be added within the email account ). If you prefer to use third-party email clients, you can remove email accounts from the Mail app on your iPhone or iPad.

Not only the preference for an email manager is a reason to delete email accounts from your iPhone or iPad Mail app, but a vulnerability has been published a few days ago on iOS devices that would allow you to hack your Apple device through the Mail app on your iPhone or iPad..
Fortunately, thanks to the Settings app, you can log out of any email account (including Gmail, Outlook and iCloud), while continuing to use the account to sync notes, contacts, etc.
Having said that, whatever your reason, below we show you step by step how to eliminate or deactivate the synchronization and connection of email with the Mail app on your iPhone when we use a Google account or another platform on your iOS device:
