One way that this design seems nicer than the previous one is that it allows you to browse through your old messages while composing a new one. In the old design, you would have to do the equivalent of closing the compose window every time you wanted to look something up and then know that you have to go to the drafts folder to continue writing. I imagine that often people would think they would have to start over again which would result in the drafts folder growing with many iterations.
I understand the critique presented in the OP, though. Perhaps they should allow resizing the window or go back to the old design and modify it to make it easier to go back to the most recent draft.
- doomlaser 14y agoIf I want to use two windows to edit an email, I would use two windows to edit email. This is their desktop browser interface. If I want to pop out my compose window from the browser, I can drag the tab out from the browser myself. Doing that kind of thing automatically through haphazard invented interface schemes makes browsing the web on the desktop a worse experience.
