Description

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

Currently when replying to an email the composer completely blocks the screen and doesn't make it possible to analyze my emails while writting a reply.

Describe the solution you'd like

An inline composer - similar to the one on Gmail - would solve this

Research direction

Start by locating the existing reply composer and the flow that opens it as a full-screen view. Compare that flow with the requested Gmail-like inline behavior, then verify that users can write a reply while continuing to view and analyze their emails without the composer blocking the screen.
