    what in f---s name is this bulshit? it is literally not focused or other, it just 50% of my emails go to one box and the other 50% goes to the other, f---ing dickheads you don't need to innovate emails, f---ing k--- yourselves.

    But seriously, does anyone know how to revert this? I tried google and couldn't find s--- and spent about 20 mins looking and can't figure it out.

    Its seriously f-----, because most of the time if i get an email, i get a phone notification for it, so i see it instantly (if it's important this is rly handy) but now i get like one phone notification per week because "Focused/Other" has f----- my entire email inbox, so i get phone notifcations for fucken "hay men plz buy dis" ebay mail and unimportant s--- like that

    Settings > Mail > Layout > Focused Inbox

    i swear on me nans cuttlery I tried this and I don't have those tabs/titles. But since you suggested it I went back and figured out mine is Settings > Display > focused
    and then you tick the "do not completely fuckulate my inbox" box.

    thx trackz, you helped

    Hi, how can I convert data from mac mail to outlook? I've searched a lot of information, but haven't found anything that fits. I need it urgently, preferably quickly and conveniently.

    Yeah focused inbox was the shittiest thing ever. How that idea was conceived, agreed with, tested and approved is absolutely beyond me. Switched it off years ago, or whenever it first came out. Looking at my Gmail settings now though I would have no idea how to do that. The settings are not user friendly at all.
