How to get contact picture in iOS mail list

When I open the mail app on iOS. In the initial view that shows my email list, how do I get the contact photo/image to show? This is before I have opened any of the emails.

Unfortunately, you cannot show the contact photo/image in the initial view that shows your email list in the Mail app on iOS. This is a limitation of the app. However, you can see the contact photo/image when you open an email.
