Disable tabs in the GoogleMail inbox

• Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select the item "Configure Inbox".
• Remove the check marks from "Social networks", "Advertising", "Notifications" and "Forums".
• You do not need to deactivate the "General" tab, it represents your normal inbox.
