Collapsible TO, CC, BCC, and FROM Fields

[GretaD]

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

When composing an email with recipients added in the TO, CC, BCC, and FROM fields, alongside attachments, the available space for the email body becomes significantly small. To improve the user experience, I propose making these fields collapsible, allowing users to expand or collapse them as needed.

In scenarios where multiple recipients are added across all fields (TO, CC, BCC, and FROM) and attachments are included, the input space for the email body is reduced, making it difficult to focus on writing the message.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a collapsible UI for the TO, CC, BCC, and FROM fields.
Users should be able to collapse these fields after entering the recipients, freeing up space for the body section.
The fields can be expanded again if the user needs to edit or review them.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Few ideas for a fix:

• Add ability to scroll to the modal
• Add ability to maximize the modal to the full screen
• Collapse fields to a icon when not in focus, with a hover over list to emails

• Add ability to scroll to the modal

We already scroll the body part, but doesnt fix the issue, because you have to read one line at the time and its very hard to see the text you are writing or if you want to read the full text you wrote before sending.

• Add ability to maximize the modal to the full screen

yes, good point, but the issue is the height and on small screen probably its not gonna make e big difference.

• Collapse fields to a icon when not in focus, with a hover over list to emails

I think Sebastian means to scroll the whole modal, which sounds like a good idea in general when we run out of space.

Correct, this is what I meant.
