What is this google?
Sorry, Jerry. I avoid all things Google.
Click the “gear wheel” on the upper right.
Click “display density”
Change the format to your liking.
Is this what you needed?
I don’t think you can get back to the ‘old’ format. The closest you can come is to change the ‘density’ and it looks more like the old format.
This recent change was THE LAST STRAW for me. I’ve had gmail for years, before I knew what Google was up to in total (bias, extent of lack of privacy, etc.). I haven’t used Google as a search engine for some years now; however, I have some blogs and other accounts where I’ve used my gmail account to sign up, my gmail is a user id, etc.
As of last week, I am switching all that I can to a different non-Google email. I did some research online and picked one that I thought would suit me. I’ve been using it for almost a week now. Probably what I don’t like about it the most is I have to manually refresh (if I have it open in a tab) to see if there is new mail (with gmail, you see it on the tab automatically - using Firefox). Other than that, it gives me a delay sending, attachments are easy to add and you can send larger ones than with gmail, I have plenty of folders for organizing, you can create filters, there is a “mail collector” feature so I could collect my mail on gmail & have it forwarded to my new account, etc. There is no color on my new email, unlike gmail with all of their themes, etc. You don’t realize how colorful gmail is until you don’t have any, but being ‘colorful’ doesn’t offset all of Google/gmail’s other serious issues that have become intolerable for me.
Here’s the article I used for reviewing some different emails .... there are many others out there if you do a search for ‘alternatives to gmail’ (if you want ‘free’, make it ‘free alternatives’ - that was one of my criteria). The article lists differ in their recommendations so really look around. I have settled on GMX and so far, I’m satisfied with it, other than the notification situation.

The format is similar to one used on the iOS Google Mail app.
Google makes too many changes. They’re out of control.
I always found Gmail terrible at UI. so I never used it. Outlook.com needs to get rid of filtered inbox and it works great.
your best bet is to install an email client like thunderbird and configure it for imap access to your gmail and they you can avoid the gmail web interface altogether ..
the trickiest part in doing all of that is to disable two-factor authentication and enable access by “less secure” applications in the settings of your gmail account on the google mail server. also, on thunderbird, do manual configuration and change the authentication method from oauth to normal password ...
