With 18.2 introduction of category inboxes in apple mail, even when selecting list view (top three dots in mail app) to return it to the old format, you still have the annoying new icons representing the categories in front of each email. I'm selecting 'list view' because I don't want to use 'categories' at all. Can the icons be removed from list view so that I can just see a normal/clean email inbox?

Thank you so much, this was driving me crazy.

Found it!!😖

Thank you that worked I hate updates and those icons in my mail was really annoying they need to stop ! Make optional not just change everything
Thanks a lot. Quite illogical switch to turn off…
I Connor find “message list” in 18.2 does it have a different name?
I turned off “Contact photos”. Now I got rid of the annoying giant icons. That’s why I almost don’t want to install an update anymore. Thanks for the info.
Maybe just look for this, I don’t have an iPhone 16
Did you ever figure out how to remove those annoying three dots?? I’m a creature of habit and always end up accidentally selecting them!
I think the programmers who come up with these updates get bored and don’t ask anyone if this would be a plus or minus. This one was definitely.👎 Thank you for the help!
Brilliant - exactly what I wanted (to get rid of these irritating little icons/badges that just clutter up my Mail view). Thank you soooo much!

That removes the icon from the list view, but the icons are still showing when looking at an individual email. How can we turn that off as to all aspects of mail?
I have this exact same question. It’s annoying.
