Remove VIP mail box from sidebar in Mac Mail I accidentally set one of my contacts to be a VIP in Mac Mail, it then added this folder in the image below into the sidebar, when i removed the VIP status of that contact the VIP folder still remained in the sidebar.. any idea how i can remove it ?
I found what worked was:


Remove all VIP contacts
Close Mail
Reboot the machine


Upon reopening Mail, the VIP section in the sidebar is now gone. 

UPDATE - At the time of writing this initial post i was running OSX 10.9.
