Gmail – Viewing all tabs in one window in Gmail

gmail

How can I get a Gmail appearance such that all of the mails in my email tabs (Inbox, Sent Mail etc.) are visible in one window? I should be able to see all of my emails in one big window, without having to click on tabs on the left hand-side. I know it is possible because I have seen my friend do it, but I don't know how!

If I understand correctly what you want to accomplish, you should set your inbox to default and disable the categories tabbing.

  1. Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner;
  2. Click on Settings;
  3. Go to the Inbox tab (the third one);
  4. For Inbox Type choose Default;
  5. Deselect any other option except Primary from the Categories;

  6. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

That’s for an all-incoming-mail-in-the-same-window inbox. Otherwise, if you want to see absolutely everything, including chats, archived emails and what’s under your labels as well, go to All Mail from the left-hand side menu (under Inbox, Sent Mail etc.).
