Correct Gmail setup

I have a bluehost work email that gets 500 spam emails a day. Getting rid of the email isn't an option. Bluehost's spam protection only marks spam as spam but it still hits my inbox.

I created a gmail account just to send the spam to the spam folder automatically. Gmail allows me to send emails as my bluehost work account through the web view or through their app but my issue comes from the iOS mail program.

Could anyone walk me through setup that would allow emails to be sent from my bluehost work account from the gmail inside of IOS Mail?

I have the gmail app, which works fine. However I want to see if it can be done inside of the IOS mail app so I could delete the gmail app.

Thanks ahead of time.

Go into the Gmail account in the Setting app. Select the Outgoing Mail server option. Then select to add a server and enter the data needed to set up and alternate server.

I have that setup but it doesn't allow you to turn off the gmail server.

Ok. Did you try adding another server before trying to turn off the gmail server. Or can you mark a different server as primary?
Also this might be a bit of a pain, but when sending an email, you can tap on the To/Cc/From line and then tap on the From and it will give you a list of all the possible from accounts you have.

See the pics.. I have outgoing server added for my work email. When I go in to shut off googles it doesn't allow you to hit done.

Your advice works for the sending email as I've tried that but it requires me to keep my work email account loaded on my phone.
