    Click the disclosure triangle next to VIPs in the mailbox list so that it points down. You'll now see the list of VIP's you designated. Right-click or control-click each one that you want to remove and select

              Remove from VIPs

    from the popup menu.

    Thanks Linc. I had already done this but the VIP mailbox is still listed but with nobody in a list below with an arrow and every email form the inbox is shown to the right - not true VIPs though. I find this annoying and would like to have the entry "VIP" in the email box list just disappear. I'll work on that when I get time. Furthermore, I would like to have VIPs where I can limit the time interval of email loaded to just be recent emails from a certain date. Oh well, I guess I just don't care for the way it is implemented. Thanks for the response though.

    Quit and relaunch Mail. If there's no change, log out or restart the computer.
