how to switch off mouse left/right swipe activity in mail app

This is something that directs me away from using Magic Mouse 2 with my Mac. The swipe option was available in previous OS releases, but now it seems to be hidden or removed.


Simply - I don't want my mouse to react on swipe left/right when working with the Mail.app. This "feature" makes me crazy as I have too old fingers to be careful and precise enough with Magic Mouse.


I found out that - probably - BetterTouchTool will solve my problem but really!? - to switch off one option in one application, I have to purchase third-party software?


Regards

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4

I very much appreciate your help, especially on Sunday. This is very kind and valuable.


As far as I see, this problem exists since many previous macOS releases; therefore, I don't believe if Apple Development treats this issue seriously. I had hope that the problem is not investigated in deep detail (e.g., not well-known configuration file).


Maybe it is a problem with the OS language version (which would be a huge surprise)? However, my quick check shows that not - but I don't have English OS installed from scratch.
