6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first group of electronic communications are displayed inline within the inbox view while in the expanded mode.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first group of electronic communications are displayed in a full screen view that replaces the inbox view while in the expanded mode.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of messages associated with the first group of electronic communications are sorted according date while in the expanded mode.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a message count indicator is displayed adjacent to the first group of electronic communications while in the condensed mode within the inbox view.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a second user input selecting the expansion affordance associated with the first group of electronic communications while in the expanded mode; and

in response to detecting the second user input selecting the expansion affordance associated with the first group of electronic communications while in the expanded mode, displaying, on the display, the first group of electronic communications in the condensed mode.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

an input device;

one or more processors;

non-transitory memory; and

one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying, on the display, an inbox view of a messaging application that includes one or more groups of electronic communications presented in a condensed mode, wherein a first group of electronic communications in the inbox view includes a first plurality of messages with two or more different subjects and from a plurality of unrelated senders that are associated with a common characteristic;

detecting, via the input device, a first user input selecting an expansion affordance associated with the first group of electronic communications while in the condensed mode; and

in response to detecting the user input selecting the expansion affordance associated with the first group of electronic communications while in the condensed mode, displaying, on the display, the first group of electronic communications in an expanded view different from the condensed mode that includes at least some of the first plurality of messages associated with the first group of electronic communications, wherein displaying the first group of electronic communications in the expanded view includes concurrently displaying:

a first message among the first plurality of messages with a first subject; and

a second message among the first plurality of messages with a second subject different from the first subject.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more programs further including instructions for:

prior to detecting the first user input, concurrently displaying a second group of electronic communications within the inbox view in the condensed mode, wherein the second group of electronic communications in the inbox view includes a second plurality of messages with a same subject and from a plurality of related senders that are associated with a common conversation.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the one or more programs further including instructions for:

after detecting the first user input, maintaining display of the second group of electronic communications in the condensed mode within the inbox view.

14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the first and second groups of electronic communications are sorted by date within the inbox view while in the condensed mode.

15. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the common characteristic associated with the first group of electronic communications corresponds to at least one of a sender type or a content type of the first plurality of messages.

16. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the first group of electronic communications are displayed inline within the inbox view while in the expanded mode.

17. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the first group of electronic communications are displayed in a full screen view that replaces the inbox view while in the expanded mode.

18. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with a display and an input device, cause the electronic device to:

display, on the display, an inbox view of a messaging application that includes one or more groups of electronic communications presented in a condensed mode, wherein a first group of electronic communications in the inbox view includes a first plurality of messages with two or more different subjects and from a plurality of unrelated senders that are associated with a common characteristic;

detect, via the input device, a first user input selecting an expansion affordance associated with the first group of electronic communications while in the condensed mode; and

in response to detecting the user input selecting the expansion affordance associated with the first group of electronic communications while in the condensed mode, display, on the display, the first group of electronic communications in an expanded view different from the condensed mode that includes at least some of the first plurality of messages associated with the first group of electronic communications, wherein displaying the first group of electronic communications in the expanded view includes concurrently displaying:

a first message among the first plurality of messages with a first subject; and

a second message among the first plurality of messages with a second subject different from the first subject.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the one or more programs further cause the electronic device to:

prior to detecting the first user input, concurrently display a second group of electronic communications within the inbox view in the condensed mode, wherein the second group of electronic communications in the inbox view includes a second plurality of messages with a same subject and from a plurality of related senders that are associated with a common conversation.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the one or more programs further cause the electronic device to:
