Include email in @mention dialog
In Podio, users with same name are impossible to tell apart when @mentioning them – unless they set a profile picture, which we can't force them to do. This can be rather serious, as it can easily lead to sensitive content being shared with the wrong person.
Suggested solution: include email address in @mention dialog.

Timo Sillander - question for you....if there was a way you could configure a workspace to only allow @mention to workspace members, would that work for your scenario? Or, if you attempt to @mention to a non-member, would some sort of warning that you are about to share the item with a non-workspace member assist in any way?

Thanks for the suggestions, but they wouldn't really solve the problem.
Limiting mentioning to workspace members would only mitigate half of the problem; the user still wouldn't know who's getting mentioned.
Warning wouldn't help either, as the user may want to share the item via mentioning, but still wouldn't know whom it would be shared with.
