### Use case
I can visit a group’s homepage. From there, I can [send a Message to the group](https://meta.discourse.org/t/make-it-easier-to-send-a-message-to-groups/65065). But I can’t see any of the conversations that we’ve been having. This is counter-intuitive.
### Solution
There should be a tab, alongside Members and Activity, that displays that group’s inbox (if it’s available). Like this:
I think this is so critical, I would making it the default tab that you see when you enter the group.
### Background
I’ve [added Groups to the main nav](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-groups-to-top-nav/65193) because I’m slowly shifting from using private categories to group PMs. Adding the inbox to a group’s page would make groups a lot more useful. It’s an issue that my users have found confusing. When they want to send a message to a group they have to go to “Messages”, not “Groups”. (Both are options available on our site’s top nav.)

This is a good idea, can you take it @tgxworld?

I’m switching some groups over from Basecamp to Discourse. Basecamp’s Message Board is more streamlined than Discourse’s group messaging, so I’m preparing my users for some rough seas ahead.
I was wondering, though, what’s the ETA for the implementation of something like what I mocked up here? 1.10?

This is an actual issue we are already experiencing in our internal usage. Looking through our community inbox (a group I do not belong to) is a pain due to the UI being in the “wrong mode”. We support cleaning this up.
However it is not slotted to a release yet, I anticipate this happening somewhere between 4 weeks from now to 6 months from now unless one of our enterprise customers pushes us to have this earlier.
For the record, messages exist as a filter under: `/activity/messages` in groups its just that the UI mode is wrong, it should display the same as it does under a user’s profile complete with the archived filter and a top level tab.

I believe this is currently being improved @tgxworld?

Yup 🙂 [Almost done](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5676) I just need to add new test cases.

Hi Alan. This is great news! I’m currently organising a face-to-face event and that’s taking up most of my waking hours. As soon as that settles down a bit, I’ll take a look at the merged changes and get back to you. Apologies for not being able to respond more quickly!
