How do I get rid of email filtering completely on my Mac Book completely?

Original Title: Email Filtering

2 replies

If you mean the filter that hides messages in Apple Mail, choose View > Filter > Disable Message Filter, or press Command-L.


If you’re seeing Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions, turn those off with View > Show Mail Categories.


For junk filtering, go to Mail > Settings > Junk Mail and turn off Enable junk mail filtering. Keep in mind your email provider may still filter junk on its own servers, even with Mail’s filter disabled.

That doesn't work.

I still get unread messages as a foremost filter.

I want to see all messages read and unread at the same time
