Add "Messages I've received" or "Messages I've exchanged" in Inbox header

Hi teamšŸ‘‹

When I want to check messages I’ve received (and especially the ones I didn’t reply to), I often go to Inbox header and realize that I can’t go to the messages from there :cry:

In metaphor of email, the ā€œInboxā€ folder sounds more like messages I’ve received, rather than messages I’ve sent (ā€œSentā€ folder in email). So I’ve been thinking it’s counter intuitive that only ā€œMessages I’ve sentā€ is in Inbox. I’d like to know the decision behind this design if possible :eyes:

Is it possible to add ā€œMessages I’ve receivedā€ to the Inbox header as well?

Or, given that both links are already available in the sidebar, we could go a little differently and combine them to ā€œMessages I’ve exchangedā€ in the Inbox header.

What do you think? Thank you in advance! :slight_smile:

Hi @ShunS, thanks for providing this feedback. :slight_smile:

This would be a great addition to the Inbox. Hopefully it’s something our Product team can implement in the future.

I’ll keep you posted and let you know if we have any updates :slight_smile:

Recently I stopped using ā€œMessages I’ve sentā€ from Inbox.

I work around the issue by saving a search ā€œMessages I’ve exchangedā€ (Collaborators: me, opening ā€œMessagesā€ tab, Sort: Last modified) to the sidebar.

I no longer need to feel disappointed and switch to the other view.
It’s great that I only need to check only one place to see all messages. That’s the beauty of Asana, isn’t it?

I hope this is introduced to Inbox (and/or sidebar) as Asana’s official feature.
