The $4 Mail app is a universal inbox that can accommodate multiple email accounts from popular services like Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, and Yahoo.
Eventually, you may need to remove one or more accounts from your Mail app, like if you change jobs and no longer need access to an Exchange account. You can't do this from the Mail app itself. Instead, that control is found in Settings.
Note, however, this is only true if you're using your $4 default Mail app as your main email app. If you're using an email app specific to a certain email service - like the official Gmail or Yahoo app, for instance - you'll have to go into that app's settings to delete your email account.
