Additional mail options

Right now Hive Mail has minimal value because its more of a "viewer" than a mail program. If that's the intent, that's fine, but if the intention is to not have to leave Hive to actually use email, then additional options to maximize usability would be helpful such as sort or view options. Also, currently the standard view shows only my name on the email in the inbox if I reply to something (see attached image).

Hi Sarah, this is super helpful. What would be the minimal set of improvements that would allow you to use it fully?

John Furneaux: Thanks for the response! I think the minimal fixes would be: 1) Make the conversations show the name of the last person—other than me—who responded (this is how Outlook handles conversations) so I can visually skim my list to find the email I'm looking for, 2) more sort/filter and/or search features. I need to be able to find emails I'm looking for in order for them to be useful.
I think the main reason I can't use Hive mail much right now is because I can't find or organize anything so my inbox just feels overwhelming.
In the future—wish list—it would be great if you could select for Hive to set up an email folder for each project and then you could use Hive Mail to sort your emails into project related folders.

John Furneaux: One more thing—I would also have to be able to add a signature (with an image and branded colors) to new emails. Without that, I'm limited to who I can send new email to from within Hive.
