I just upgraded to Catalina, and now every entry in the list of emails for my inbox has a "TO" inside a small gray box in front of each entry in the list. What is it, and how do I get rid of it?
I have the year-old 27" iMac and Catalina 10.15.3
iMac 27", macOS 10.15
Go to the View menu and uncheck “Show To/Cc”.

Hi Ken,
Right click on the little To & uncheck To:
Thanks, I don't have10.15 to test... if you right click on the white space above the To in that picture are there any choices?
You are correct that I right-clicked on a TO in front of one of my emails in the subject list. But the reason I did that is that it is the only TO visible in my mail window. You have a row of symbols (including the TO) and the word Subject as a title for the subject column. My mail program does not have that entire row. Do you know how I can make it visible? I looked over the View menu in Mail to see if there was something to turn on or off, but I couldn't duplicate your look.
When I right click I get a drop-down menu with things like Copy, Forward, etc but there is no "TO" to uncheck. In fact, there are not opportunities to check or uncheck anything.
Are you Right clicking on the tiny header at the1st red arrow?
Sounds like you're right clicking on an eMail...
AHA, thanks
I didn't see that you're running 10.15, & thought OT had it figured out, do you have a screen shot?
Here is a screen shot of the Mail page. The highlighted email (blue) is the one you sent me. It is shown in the bottom part of the screen shot.
Thanks for all who helped solve this mystery. Luis Sequeira's answer solved the issue.

Actually, that TO is next to the Subject of the email. Why it's named as it is I don't know. But it's there to easily and quickly see the subject of the email in that list.
There's nothing we can do to get rid of it. Suggest a new feature for mail via Feedback - macOS - Apple
