If I delete my default Apple ID Gmail account, what happens to my existing emails?

If you are deleting your Gmail account that is linked to your Apple ID, all of the messages in that account will remain intact in their current location. Your other email accounts aren’t affected if you delete Google’s default account. To ensure this doesn’t happen by accident, it might be helpful to add a passcode lock feature to the device (Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode) as well as set restrictions on deleting data from the device using Restrictions (Settings > General Settings). This way, no one can pick up your iPhone and accidentally cause trouble with an unintended deletion.

My iPhone has multiple email accounts added but I only want to receive emails from one particular address which doesn’t show up in the inbox. How can I fix this?

If you have other email accounts that also display emails from iCloud or @me.com addresses, they can be accessed from the Mail app by swiping left to right between the name and account fields of the addressee field.
