Unless this is the email account of the company you work for (and want to continue working for), this falls under the heading of "Bad Ideas". Might as well write the phone's password on the screen with a magic marker.
And if it WAS the email account of the company *I* worked for, I'd sooner get another phone and use that exclusively for work. I might decide to put some personal data on my phone, and I'd rather not put my personal data where any unscrupulous employee can get to it. Even with written guarantees, some bells can't be unrung.
