This is why this button has disappeared in favor of another, which displays a small pencil with the mention “New Message”, or "Compose" in the language of Shakespeare. This button is larger than the old one, but shrinks when the user browses through their emails so as not to interfere with navigation. Then appears a simple pencil in a floating bubble.
