Hi! I took a quick look and here a couple of things I've found:
- Threads with more than a couple of messages take a very long time to load (many dozens of seconds). - The search is also relatively slow. - I find it difficult to match the thread outline to the actual message. Making a visual connection between the thread outline and the currently viewed message would be helpful.
