Show contact photo in the Cards view (Thunderbird Supernova)

[Nasso]

Now the photos are visible in the mail header, which is great, but It would be perfect if we can see the contacts photos (avatars) in the Cards view in the mail list.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

This is a good idea. If I remember correctly, I think they even did that in a preview screenshot for what was going to be in the cards update, quite a while ago.

It may seem frivolous, but seeing avatars in my mail list is important to me. I am really liking Thunderbird, but get tempted back to EMclient for the avatars

[ulinsky]

upvoted, I would also love this feature.

I think this would be a great addition and would go a long way toward making the inbox GUI more "modern"

Great feature and one that would really help me when looking at the list of emails. It's something I miss about using GMail. It would also be awesome if it showed the favicon for known domains if no picture is present.

Any news on this? I would love to switch to using Thunderbird, but having an icon in the card is a must for me. It makes flicking through a full inbox so much quicker and easier in Spark, which also seems to have them built-in for many business domains like PayPal or Google—perhaps it's automatically generating them using the domain's provided icons?

The lack of avatars is the only reason I don't use Thunderbird Mail.
