Device w/more than one email - backing up on iCloud

Hi all!

I apologize if this has been addressed before, but I've been looking around and couldn't find an adequate answer on this:

If a user has multiple emails accounts on an iDevice - can he choose to only backup one of the accounts on iCloud, or is it an "all or nothing" prospect? It seems from looking at iCloud on the device, that is either all email or no email, but can't tell for certain.

Any guidance here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but iCloud only backs up your login info for your email accounts setup on your iDevice. The emails themselves for each account are backed up on their own cloud servers. Makes sense?

Yep. That's my understanding.
