Isn't clear what Do you mean by "email built in" The term -Built in-
is used to indicate that an app it comes included in a program

or browser..Like Google.com offer a Gmail service "Built In"
In resume Google only offer-1: Email service called Gmail

You don't need them both. You have them both running, and you have them both with the same account, so they'll both have the same emails. If you can, open GMail (I assume you use the "email built in" app) go to settings, go to your account, and turn off Sync GMail, and set Days of mail to sync to 1. Also turn off Download attachments. That will use as little online time as possible. (If the phone is rooted, you can just freeze GMail.) I prefer Samsung's email app or K9 email, and never use GMail.

If you're doing it the other way, using GMail, do the same with the other email app. Remove yoiur account from it if you can (some can, some can't), set it to only retain 1 day, don't sync it and don't download attachments.

i would suggest simply disabling the one that you don't want
