Most often my inbox looks like this:

And so on, you get the point.

Our flow looks like this:

  1. Check for avatars from the Contacts app (if installed and if a picture is present for the contact)
  2. Show a placeholder

The problem is that many of the emails we get are not necessarily from people in our contacts. We should improve it like this:

  1. Check for avatars from the Contacts app (if installed and if a picture is present for the contact)
  2. Check for avatars from federated Nextcloud servers
  3. Check https://en.gravatar.com (yes this might be a privacy concern, but we could offer a setting to deactivate this)
  4. Check the domain for a favicon we can use, which is good especially for notifications from Twitter, Github, Facebook, Meetup etc. (this could also have a setting to deactivate since it pings other services)
  5. Show a placeholder

Any other ideas?
