Thanks for this feedback, Richard. There is a plan to make this more compact.

As stated before, Grouped by cards will be the same height as other cards.

Some efforts to change existing code design decisions take a lot more effort and time. This is one of those. How items scroll is a significant change. We can make this look great for the time being with the limitations we currently have. We can look into addressing the structural changes needed in the future. I appreciate your patience and willingness to let us know how we can improve. Thank you!

> - The Message Card shall really need to appear only on two lines (three only if I opt-in for it temporarily or permanently at user's choice)
Three lines is as designed. There is more information going to be added to the third line. An opt-in for two lines versus one is a feature that would take time to design (code design and visual design) and would take time to implement. 3 lines is as designed right now.

The current cards are much larger than we want them to be. You will see improvement in the next beta release. Thank you!
