Description

We currently use a "globe" icon for the button on the main screen that takes you to the all-messages view. This has never been a great icon to use there, but we didn't feel we had a better one -- the web app used a "home" icon, and that seemed like it would put too much emphasis on that view. (Unlike on web, the all-messages view has never been the main view that we present.)

But now web uses a "list" icon: image

That seems perfectly reasonable, and it's helpful to have the same icon on web as on mobile. So let's switch to that one.

(From chat thread here.)

Research direction
Locate the icon component for the all messages button (likely using a globe icon) and replace it with the list icon, matching the web app's icon.
