After introducing Focussed Inbox, Microsoft has introduced another new feature in its Mail app for Windows 10. The newest version of the Mail app in Windows 10 now displays a small circle with sender initials or pictures (if available) next to email messages in the list.

The ability to show sender pictures in the message list was previously available in Office Outlook. The feature is turned on by default for all user accounts in the Mail app.
