Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to be able to turn off the filtering of Important mail to the top.

I note there is an option to disable the automatic categorisation, but I would simply like my inbox to show things by date, and not provide a separate section for important mail.

Describe the solution you'd like

For me, the most important things I need to deal with are recent threads, and many mail flagged as important (by the sender, or automatically by the app) are in fact the least important things in my inbox. So it's jarring for me to have this getting in the way when I open my inbox, and I'd prefer a settings option to turn off this functionality.

Thanks

Additional context

I find in general Mail (like a few nextcloud apps) would be better with more configuration settings.

On version 1.14.3, the settings menu has about 5 options - that doesn't seem sufficient to me for something as significant as a mail client.
