I think I am still confused about this. So I should download the Gmail app and then remove the gmail designation from Mail, Calendar, etc?

Currently, I can manage the inbox as I've moved some emails to labels already created like "family", "LL Bean receipts", and the like. Would I have even better functionality downloading the Gmail app besides getting real-time email?

As an aside, Flyertalk app on the iPhone is lightyears better than the Android app.
