Keeping Mail Boxes Separate

On my iPhone and iPad Pro (iOS Version 12.1.3) I have two Mail Boxes, one of which I do not want to merge with Inbox. I want to keep its contents separate. I've read a number of unhelpful or old posts on this. Some refer to a clickable triangle to the left of the Inbox (can't locate and old posts in any event) while others advise separate logins (don't want to do) while some talk about using Rules without indicating exactly what a Rule setup for this would look like.


Any suggestions?

iPad Pro, 12

In iOS mail, the “all inboxes” cannot be disabled, but that is merely for display purposes on the device. The mail in that universal inbox still lives in each respective email account inbox - it’s merely displayed on the device in the “all inboxes”. Just scroll down to each individual email account and you can expand each accounts folders and access each account’s discrete inbox anytime.
