Allow compose emails not in a modal dialog/window

[gioman]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm new to Nextcloud mail and after testing for a couple of hours now I would like to make some suggestions for improvements.

The first is to add an option so that new emails and replies can be composed not in the modal dialog/window as it is now. The "natural" place seem to me that it could be the same space used to show the content of emails regardless if using split screen or list.

About the modal dialog/window:

the "double" vertical scroll bar is... puzzling, and not very nice aesthetically

The tooltip for the icon

is

and when clicking it the modal dialog gets a little bit bigger (but not nearly enough, if this is its function) and actually no details are hidden.

Thank you for opening the ticket. I'll try to go through the points one by one. Generally speaking, it would be best if you open bug reports and feature requests individually. They will also be worked on individually and the communication and state gets blurry in overview tickets.

We had this in the beginning but moved to an overlay editor because that is what other clients use too. #12011 is where we might go.

That looks like a bug. Ideally the editor should always use the full height so there is only one scrollbar outside.

I think #6589 covers this

I hope I could answer the questions. Could you open bug reports for the bugs?
