What is the VIP inbox?

When checking my email I see that there is an inbox called VIP.

What is this?

Why is it there?

Is it really needed?

VIP is really a filter used to show you your most contacted or relevant messages.  It filters out SPAM and messages from senders not typically in your contacts list.  So, you'd probably see a filtering action based on priority of importance, such as VIP, Inbox, then SPAM.  It is not a requirement and usually can be un-synced or removed.

How would you un-sync it or remove it if I decide to do so?

Check sync settings for folders and such in the email app settings.
