Show Actual Datetime for Email Messages
Instead of displaying "Yesterday" or "Oct 20" for the time it would be more helpful to show the actual date+time in the inbox and in the message header.
There has been a recent trend in email and messaging apps to hide the actual message time and show "friendly" labels. These labels make it much more difficult to keep track of very busy inboxes.
Tooltip/hover text isn't enough as it cannot be viewed at a glance and requires mouse interaction.
Protonmail used to show the full datetime, so please either allow that as a user-selectable option or return it to the UI.

It's worse in the inbox because you can't even hover over the "Yesterday". Hover shows the action icons and not the time, so it's completely inaccessible without going into each message, one at a time.
