     Classic – Go to Settings->Inbox, set the Inbox Type to Default, and un-check all the Categories except Primary.
     <x> First – Go to Settings->Inbox, and set the Inbox Type to the one you want displayed first:  Important, Unread, or Starred.
     Priority – Go to Settings->Inbox, set the Inbox Type to priority, and set the Inbox Sections the way you want.
     Categories – Go to Settings->Inbox, set the Inbox Type to Default, and configure the Category tabs you want.
