how do i delete a vip mail box?

Hi....

Yes but what if one dont have a mail from the sender, then you can't get to the point where you can delete from the vip list... Any good ideas ?

You should not need an email from the person. The VIP mailbox will be on the right. hi light it and press control delete. Please see the photo I have attached. I have hi lighted the vip box and then pressed control and clicked the mouse. It opens this little menu. Proceed from there.

None of these solutions work with El Capitan and Mail 9.2

The "VIP" is also on my phone but not in my contacts so I cannot delete it anywhere. There is no mail associated with this person either.

Are you holding the control button while clicking your mouse?? It should open the little menu and allow you to proceed.....

It offers Remove from VIP's

You must high light what you want removed with the mouse then hold the control button and click mouse again. It should open this menu.....

This did not work for me...starting to HATE APPLE MAIL and all of its redundancy mail boxes...this should not be that hard to remove.

I got as far as Mail Data, but there is no VIP option.

try right clicking (secondary clicking) on the VIP - there should be an option to delete

This one worked for me, thank you very much!

does not work in modern OS versions.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.

Yup - just right clicking (or control click) on the VIP name in the VIP folders works a treat, to expose the name list just expand the VIP list using the usual rotating grey arrow to the left of the VIP word. Done on macOS 10.12. No need to go hacking around in any plist files or restarting Mail or anything else.

For those talking about VIP list on the iPhone - in the Mail app just hit the blue i in a circle on the right of the VIP folder in your Mailboxes view and the editing there is obvious. If you are talking about Favourites in the Phone app thats a different thing... (and obviously edited using the top right and left controls on the favourites view in the phone app).

Thanks, Worked like a charm!

From captfred-

You'll have to remove all your VIP accounts. Visit an old mail from each and click the star by the senders name.

This was the only way I could delete my VIP mailbox.

Nice trick, thanks, captfred, I salute you

Hover over mailbox

Tap trackpad with two fingers

Dropdown menu will show option to remove VIP mailbox

This is the way to go. The other solution didn't work for me and this was soooooo much easier. Thanks!
