Description
Steps to reproduce
This is an accessibility issue.
Some names for icons aren’t correct. This makes it very hard for screen reader users to understand what these buttons do.
This is a reminder ticket to check the state. In general the icons are correct and consistent
Expected behavior
Make sure interactive objects that lead to the same place are named consistently.
Actual behavior
One thing that goes beyond the WCAG-requirements, but is still worth considering, is that the initial button is visually identical across apps, but isn’t consistent functionally. Generally speaking, it’s best if objects that look the same way work the same way.

Research direction
The issue does not identify files, tests, or specific icons to inspect. Start by auditing interactive icons across the Mail app's apps and comparing their accessible names, destinations, and behavior. Done means objects leading to the same place are named consistently and visually identical buttons behave consistently.
