It introduced mail categorization, a fresh coat of paint, contact photos\/business logos for conversations, a new system for grouping emails, and more.

In practice though, a lot of things were incorrectly categorized, and I found myself swiping over to the \u201cAll Mail\u201d tab most of the time, that way I could see everything without having to deal with inaccurate sorting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-979632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/mail-app-ios182.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>And yes, you can choose to recategorize senders if you don\u2019t like how Apple chose to sort it. However, I find that a bit tedious compared to simply turning categorization off entirely.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-disable-it\">How to disable it<\/h2>\n<p>Apple thought about the fact that everyone might not necessarily like categorization, and provided a simple way to disable it.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the inbox, and you can swap from Categories to List View. This provides an \u201cAll Mail\u201d experience, while still keeping the profile pictures and other design elements of the new Mail app.<\/p>\n<p>This setting is also inbox by inbox, so if you\u2019d like to have categorization on all inboxes, but a list view for others, you can do that.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-979801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png 2048w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/Apple-Mail-categorization-disable.png?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-priority-notifications\">Priority notifications<\/h2>\n<p>Luckily for me, Apple already has Priority Notifications in the Mail app, which does a much better job at quickly highlighting what\u2019s important, without me feeling like I\u2019m potentially missing out on emails because of less-than-ideal categorization.
