Is there any way to go back to old mail settings?

I really don’t like the way the mail splits into different categories. Is there any way to change it and have it revert to the good ole days?

Open mail>click the ellipsis (dots) in upper right corner and select 'list view'

Found using MR search terms: old mail
Checkbox: Search titles only

Sorry - usually when I type a title, threads pop up, but nothing did.

Thank you. I have checked through all the settings with no luck. I guess that’s why! How ridiculous I’ve been frustrated with it for as long as I have and it was that easy. 😬

It often pays to do a search first with relevant keywords. The automatic search using the words in the title-box can get confused if the important keywords appear later.

That said, I just tried typing the title of this thread into the new-thread title box, and the article I linked showed up as suggestion #4 of 5. Maybe all the recent searching for keywords "old mail" has moved it up in the results rank, and it wasn't there when you started the thread.

I also did a test typing keywords old mail into the new-thread title box, and that article appeared at 4 of 5. Adding "settings" moved it up to #3 of 5.

I usually do searches before posting, but since they often pop up when I do the title, I didn't this time, and I didn't see anything relevant but now I understand why.

Thanks for all the effort to clarify.
