To put your mailbox as it was before the update:


  • Open the mail app and look for the circle at the top with 3 dots in it and tap it. Choose List View.
  • Next ope the Settings App and scan all the way down to the bottom of the page and tap Apps. Now find and Tap Mail. Then look for and turn off Show Contact Photos.


Your mail account will look as it did before the update.

Apple isn't here, just other users. But to find settings for Mail open the Settings App. Go all the way to the bottom of the page. Tap Apps. Then see all your apps listed alphabetically, find and tap Mail. There are your mail app settings.


See my post above, shown as Top Ranking to see how to get your mailbox back to how it was before the update.

This last update is a disaster!!!!! Change it back ! I can’t find anything or track emails! HELP! Fix this mess, please!

Just read the thread. It's been explained how to change it back, which you can easily do. Look at the Top Ranking reply, which I actually wrote, which explains. You could have saved yourself from even having to post here if you had just taken a moment to read.
