Big Sur mailbox display

So on Big Sur in Mail things like Inbox and drafts now show in the mailboxes under the account as well as up top. Any way to stop that behavior? It's kind of silly to have them it two places.

viewing all Mailbox inbox contents simultaneously. After upgrading to Big Sur I have this frustrating thing happened in Mail where in the left hand column in Mail I have my three accounts listed separately and to view new mail I have to highlight each one individually to see mail in that account. I used to be able to see all new mail in all accounts simultaneously. I have tried everything but cant find a way of implementing that. At the top of that left hand column I have 'favourites' and below that 'smart mailboxes' and below that the individual accounts listed. Help its annoying!

Mail layout since Big Sur upgrade How do I get my inbox to the top of the list ? It’s now more than half way down after favourites and a load of others. Can I revert to the previous format which worked well as my husband and I have separate email accounts on the same MacBook

If you don’t like it, you can hide them in Favourites: rightclick on e.g All incoming messages and leftclick on ‘remove them from Favorites.

second option: move your cursor to the right side of the name of your account and click on the little arrow that appears

No, but you can twirl open or closed as desired.
