Hi, when I go through the messages in my inbox (mobile UI), I’m often having troubles to find the message I am searching for and end up opening various to find the one I was looking for. In mobile UI, there is often only my own name displayed, but it feels more intuitive to search for the avatars of the other PM members:

I think something like this would be better:

What do you think?

Yeah, I think we can improve on the mobile layout here. Not sure about just cramming a list of avatars in there though. I think a lot of mobile-friendly email apps have already solved this problem. I’d look there for good UX examples.
