The Important folder is a Gmail thing. Go to your account at Gmail and adjust it. Gmail has instructions for using their email.

Gmail offer instructions on how to create a filter to stop mail going to Important. Then you remove all emails from Important. Do all the above via gmail webmail using a browser. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/186543?hl=en https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/wmxjldRq-KA https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/IvF3sD_B67E Set up filter. REmove emails from Important.


In Thunderbird Do not subscribe to see the folder.
