Is it possible to set up a Google account for Gmail only? As the title says, is it possible to setup a Google account on an Android device in a way that it will only be used to access Gmail?

I have several apps from the big G installed on my phone (obviously, I dare say), namely Gmail, Play store, Maps, Keep, and so on.

I also have three different Google accounts, the main purpose of this is the need of having distinct email addresses. Let's call "A" the main account (the one that I also use for other Google services like Play Store,  Contacts, Calendar and so on) and "B" &amp; "C" the remaining two, only used for email.

I'd like to setup "B" &amp; "C" so that they are only used with Gmail app, and won't pop up in every other Google app, where they are not needed nor wanted. Is it possible to do so?

I have already set them to just sync with Gmail and not other things like contacts and calendars, but that's not what I'd like to accomplish. I want them out of the way where they are not needed.
I found a workaround for my problem that works splendidly.

After having installed the latest version of the Gmail App, I have discovered that when I go to Settings &gt; Account &gt; Add account, I can configure a generic email address (i.e. not necessarily a Gmail one) to be used with the said App. It supports both IMAP and POP3 protocols.



(sorry for the Italian, but it should be understandable nonetheless).

I suppose that this feature was meant to use email addresses from other providers inside the Gmail App, but it will accept any email configuration, even a Gmail one.

So I selected IMAP for my second and third email addresses, and now I can access those accounts just for Gmail; this way they won't be able to get in they way on other Apps.

On Google Help Center I have found the settings required to configure an IMAP account on an external client, which I have used. I'm reporting them here for completeness.


  To configure the 'Email' app on an Android device for access to Gmail,
  just follow the steps below:

1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
2. Open the Email application.
3. Tap Menu and the Settings
4. In the top corner, tap  select Next to get started with setup.
5. Enter your full Gmail address and password, then select Next.
6. On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.

  
  And you're done. You can verify your settings from the Inbox view by
  tapping Menu, select Account and then scroll to Server settings.

Incoming settings
IMAP server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Security type: SSL (always)

Outgoing settings
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (always)

  
  Now that your account is set up, learn how actions in your client sync
  with Gmail.
