Get your old Gmail back

If you have logged onto your Gmail account you may have been presented with the "New" inbox, that includes tabs with labels for different conversation types. The default tabs are Primary, Social and Promotions. You may prefer the "old" way of viewing important and unread conversations first, followed by ones that you "starred" and then everything else. Simply clicking on the "Settings" gear icon and selecting "Configure Inbox" only gets you to a pop-up that allows you to enable or disable certain tabs, but by doing this your inbox still does not look quite right. There is an easy way to get your familiar inbox back.

Start by clicking the gear icon in Gmail, then click the "Settings" option, then click on "Inbox" along the top selection area. Under "Inbox Type" select "Priority Inbox". Then look at the other options on the page to ensure that everything is as you want it to be. There are also other inbox types listed, so you can try the different ones to find the inbox display that suits you best. Be sure to "Save Changes" by clicking the button at the bottom, to confirm your choices.
