Turn off "Important" markers

Why does Mailspring show “Important” markers, and how can I turn them off?

The important markers in Mailspring are based on Gmail’s “important” markers—you can learn more about them here.

If you keep a pretty clean inbox, Gmail may be marking most of your emails as important and this can be pretty unhelpful. If you’d like to disable important markers in Mailspring, go to Preferences > General , and uncheck “Show Gmail-style important markers”.

Hello,

I use Gmail with MailSpring, and there are pink “Important” tags on all messages in the inbox… I unchecked “Show Gmail-style important markers” in the general preferences. I restarted Mailspring, but the “Important” tags are still there on each message. If I manually click the “x” cross on the right-hand side of the “Important” tags, a message says “Important” was deleted, but it is still there… How to get rid of them?

Thank you.
