How do I revert to a single message list in Mail 16.0 without tabs?

In Mail 16.0 I see tabs: Primary - Updates - Promotion - Transaction.


I want to see all my message in one list at a glance as in previous Mail versions.


How do I revert and not see any of these tabs?


Thank you.

Seems Mail calls these tabs "Categories"

Apple support's article :Use categories in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Turn off categories 


Tip: You can quickly view all emails in an inbox. At the top of the message list,

click the category you are in or double-click another category to open All Mail.


  1. Go to the Mail app  on your Mac.
  2. Choose View, then turn off Show Mail Categories."
