Hide contact photos

[foresto]

Contact photos waste a significant amount of my phone's limited screen space. They also appear as meaningless and overly-bright placeholder icons in most cases, since I receive a lot of email from people who aren't personal contacts. Is there any way to disable them, so I can see more of a message's subject line?

[foresto]

Yes, I already unchecked that one. The contact images (placeholder icons, actually) are still shown in the message view, pushing the subject lines off the edge of the screen and glaring at me with their stark whiteness against the dark background of the rest of the screen.

Well,  this area on the left side of each message is needed for some reasons by the app:
> select /unselect messages

I think you've misunderstood me. I am not talking about the message list. I am talking about the view that displays a single message.

Sorry, I really overlooked that in your posts.

Needed to add the sender information (name, email addtess) to Contact app.

No. That is not what I need, it is not what I asked for, and it would not solve my problem.

What Paris Geek tried to explain was:

AquaMail needs that area for an action icon ("contact image" or even a "placeholder")  for the feature to add the sender to the contact app {usually Android system}.

For this reason, no change could be expected.

Thanks, I see your point and I understand why it is the way it is today, but it doesn't solve the problem: I don't need contact photos. I don't need a button/icon for adding contacts from within the message view. I do need to see as much of the subject line as possible. If there was an option to hide the contact photo, that would solve the problem.

It would, but there isn't.

It would, but there isn't.

Thanks. That's all I wanted to know. In that case, please consider this a request for such an option.

[Jordy]

Yes, that option would help. If the tick was replaced with something inconspicuous

@Jordy

Can you please try enabling app settings -> message list -> slim padding?

It won't completely get rid of the checkmarks but they will become smaller (the overall layout will become more dense too, less fashionable, but maybe more practical).
