How to Disable “Follow Up” Mail Suggestions on Mac

The "Please Follow Up" feature guide for turning off Mac mail apps

The Mac mail app's "to follow-up" feature is controversial, and it will display email suggestions Apple mail thinks need to follow up on the top of the inbox. The principle is simple: If you don't receive a reply from a specific person or email, the last message you sent will appear at the top of your email inbox with a "To be followed" tag. This feature has confused some users because it puts old messages on top of your inbox, making people mistakenly think that messages are new or have received replies when they aren't.

While some users may like this reminder, others may find the “to follow-up” feature redundant or annoying and want to turn it off in the Mac mail app. Next, we will demonstrate how to do it.

How to turn off the "Please follow up" feature in the Mac mail app

1. If it is not already open, open the Mail app on your Mac.
2. Click the Mail menu and select Settings.
3. Under the General tab, uncheck the check box next to "Suggestions to Follow".

4. Close the settings window and the changes take effect immediately.

Now you will no longer see the "Please follow up" suggestion, and old sent messages will no longer be displayed at the top of your email inbox.

Whether you like this feature may depend on how much you want the app and computer to remind you to do things, even if those things are not necessarily related. A large number of sent messages do not actually require follow-up, but email apps often think they need it, and since these messages appear at the top of the user's inbox, it can make people mistakenly think that they have received new messages. This also leads some users to think that the new email is not loading correctly when there is actually no new email that needs to be loaded, and they may even end up sending another unnecessary email (if you do it quickly, you can withdraw the email).

Like any feature, if you find yourself ending up enjoying this feature or want to try again, you can re-enable the To Follow Up feature at any time. Perhaps combined with Apple's smart email writing feature, you'll find this feature more useful.

Why do old sent mails appear at the top of my mail inbox?

If you see an old sent email appearing at the top of your email inbox without receiving a reply, it is most likely caused by the "Please follow up" feature.

The setting switch for this feature describes "Suggestions to be followed" as "Email will remind you of messages that have not been replied".

If you disable this feature, old sent messages will stop appearing at the top of the email inbox in the Mail app.

While this article describes "Suggestions to Follow Up" in the Mac Mail app, the same features exist on iPhone and iPad, and you can disable or enable it according to your preferences.
