- Leave the emails as they are. (Disable)

Recommended Gmail™ Settings
Using these settings will more closely replicate the visual style of Inbox:
- Settings/Inbox/Categories -> Leave only Primary ticked
- Settings/Inbox/Inbox Type -> Default or Starred First
- Settings/Advanced/Multiple Inbox -> Disabled
- Settings/Advanced/Preview Pane -> Disabled
- Settings/General/Maximum Page Size -> Show 100 conversations per page
- Settings/General/Personal level indicators -> No indicators
- Settings/Inbox/Importance markers -> No markers
Email Bundling Tips
Disable inbox category tabs:
- Settings Dropdown/Configure Inbox -> Leave only Primary ticked -> Save
Allow default category labels (Promotions, Social, Updates, Forums) to be bundled:
- Settings/Labels/Categories/Show in message List -> Click show for each category
If you'd like a specific label not to be bundled, create a label called 'Unbundled', and nest that label within it.
Known Issues
- This extension works best in English, because it relies on specific date formats.
- This currently only supports Gmail™'s default theme. If you enable the Dark theme, you will experience white/invisible text and icons.
Privacy
- This extension does not make any external network requests.
- This extension does not use any analytics platforms.
- The code is open source, ready for you to audit.
In other words, you are not being tracked, and your data is not leaving the page to be processed or stored anywhere else. This extension just sits as a layer on top of Gmail™, modifying the style and behavior of the page.
