Which email account are you referring to? Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


Meanwhile look at the settings on Mail Days to sync


On the iPhone there is an option called "Mail Days To Sync." / "Remove After" This option allows you to save space on your iPhone by telling the server to stop pushing emails to your phone. There are several options to select: "No Limit" -- This option will send all the emails in your inbox and folders to your iPhone


Most mails will follow this sequence

Settings > Password & Accounts > iCloud > Mail (Scroll Down) > Advanced > Remove [Select from the options]

Settings > Password & Accounts > AOL > Account > Advanced > Remove [Select from the options]

Settings > Password & Accounts > Yahoo > Account > Advanced > Remove [Select from the options]


Except for Outlook

Settings > Password & Accounts > Outlook > Mail Days to Sync [Select from the options]


Watch the GIF below



Unfortunately Gmail does not have this option at all under iOS Mail app.


However that shouldn't bother you. because it hardly consumes space Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Mail App > [how much is it?] See the GIF below on my iPhone 6
