The classic view in Apple Mail on Catalina!

In macOS Catalina, Apple introduced a new design for Mail, which some users might find overwhelming or cluttered. Fortunately, you can switch back to the classic view, which is similar to the layout in earlier versions of Mail.

Here's how to enable the classic view in Apple Mail on Catalina:

1. Open Apple Mail on your Mac.
2. Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + comma).
3. In the Preferences window, click on the "General" tab.
4. Look for the "View" section and select "Classic" from the dropdown menu next to "View style".
5. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Once you've made this change, you should see the classic view in Apple Mail, which includes:

• A simpler layout with fewer columns and a more compact design
• A focus on the message list, with fewer distractions
• Easier navigation using the sidebar and toolbar

Keep in mind that the classic view is not available in the Mail app on iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads. If you're looking for a similar experience on your mobile device, you might consider using a third-party email client or a web-based email service.
