How to Disable Inbox Tabs in Gmail

Darius had a chest. Alexander called a book his own.
When, once, the two men met, so did the book and chest. For as Alexander the Great won his victory over Darius III, he also gained possession of the precious container. Alexander, Plutarch tells us, asked those about him what would be appropriate to store in so magnificent a vessel. After listening to all the suggestions, he revealed what should, of course, go into the chest: his copy of the Iliad (annotated by his teacher Aristotle).
So, a box is a good place for a book to go. A box, though, as a tab is not a good place for a new email to go? You can forego Gmail's tab suggestions and have messages arrive in that one precious "in" box instead:

How to Handle Zoho Mail's "Send message without a subject?" Question

The Egyptian king Menes is believed dead but actually now high priest in the sun temple under the name Sethos. His daughter Tharsis, whom he believes dead, is in actuality under the high sun priestess Mirza's tutelage. She is there called Sais.
Sais (Tharsis) loves Thamos, now king of Egypt and the son of Ramesses, who had ousted Menes (Sethos). Pheron, an ambitious courtier, loves Sais. He and Mirza conspire to usurp the throne and enthrall Sais (Tharsis). Sethos (Menes) intervenes.
That, at least rudimentarily, is the answer to the question for the subject of the only play for which Mozart wrote incidental music—hardly, it has to be said with sorrow, performed as of late (or ever before).
With that under our belts, let's handle Zoho Mail's question for the subject of your latest email:

Set Up Application-Specific Passwords for Accessing Outlook.com via POP

In the Indian Ocean, not really near Madagascar, India, Indonesia or any landmass else, some frogs grow to barely a cm (0.4 in) and no ears at all. Gardiner's Seychelles (or tree) frogs still hear, catching sound with their mouths, whence it is transferred to the inner ear.
Now, if your email program has no way to log in to Outlook.com via two-step authentication, it can still receive emails :

Suggest a Feature or Report a Bug for AIM Mail (From the Archives)

"To suggest"—surprise!—has Latin roots: suggerere (made up of sub, under, and gerere, to carry) means to supply, to bring, to amass, to lug to a site and put under the stuff already there for support and building something worthwhile.
Reads like submitting AIM Mail suggestions to AOL, does it not?
›› Do let the makers of AIM Mail and AOL Webmail know if something's not right; do let them know if you have an idea for new feature or improvement, too, and everybody can profit from more capable an email service.

Revoke Easy Access to Outlook.com on Trusted Devices Remotely

To teach an old or new cat any tricks: the mere attempt must have prompted would-be animal tamers to apply the irrationally suggestive phrase "to walk the cat backward" to the utter futility of undoing certain things.
In Outlook.com, you can walk a cat back in the sack, though, and undo password-only access to your account:
›› Misplaced the tablet on which you can open Outlook.com without logging in using two-step authentication? Suspect somebody might be able to sneak up to a computer you marked a "trusted device"? You can revoke the status remotely and require more secure two-step authentication in all browsers at least once.

Add Sender to Address Book Quickly in Mozilla Thunderbird

The promotional video for Bohemian Rhapsody, that illustriously operatic rock song the length of a classical era symphony's movement, was filmed, one learns, during a break in rehearsals for Queen's 1975 "A Night at the Opera" tour. It took the better part of two (or even four) hours.
That's relatively short a time? You want to accomplish something in relatively short a time as well? How about adding a sender to the Mozilla Thunderbird address book?

How to Get Folder Statistics (Unread, Flagged, Storage,…) in Zoho Mail

Time passes for the standing cow.
Time passes for the cow lain down.
The effect is different, though, it seems—at least in the numbers: with each 15 minutes passing, a cow that has laid down is more likely to stand up in the next 15. After it has stood up, the likelihood of the cow laying down again does not, however, increase with time. The cow is, one reads, as likely to lower itself in the first 15 minutes as it is from minutes 45 to 60.
If that's not interesting, I don't... how about email folders' statistics in Zoho Mail?
›› Folders contain messages (if they are not empty): some unread perhaps, labeled or flagged or with files attached. Folders also consume space and are the destiny perhaps for filters' filing actions. In Zoho Mail, you can find out these facts and other folder information in one place.

Change Font Face, Size and Color in Gmail (From the Archives)

"So you know nothing about the contestants, but you have to bet?"
"…"
"No. Don't tell me how you got into this situation. Tell me what jerseys they are wearing!"
All else being, well, somewhat random, a red dress is an advantage in sports. Or not (according to an analysis of German Bundesliga matches).
Either way, red letters may help you win hearts in your emails. Or not. In Gmail, you can, at least, give it a try:
