Description
Add an option to display date headers in the message list. Example:
Developer notes:
See PR #2933 for an implementation of this.
This feature needs:
- concept for the visual appearance
- specification for how to group emails (today, yesterday, last week, …? Which date are we using for grouping?)
- preliminary work to clean up the message list code: see #3248

Review PR #2933 and the preliminary message-list cleanup referenced in #3248 first. Define the visual appearance and specify which message date and grouping ranges should be used; the work is complete when the option and grouping behavior are implemented according to that specification.
