pop out draft message as a separate window
In the desktop ProtonMail app for Mac, which includes mail and calendar as different tabs/views, I really need the ability to pop out a draft message as a separate window while I am composing it. I often receive messages asking me to list my availability for a meeting. In Outlook, I am able to pop out the message so I can look at my calendar while drafting the message. In the ProtonMail desktop app, the draft is stuck in the mail view, so I need to remember or write down information somewhere else after looking my calendar.

This is a complete failure in workflow and makes using the app so much slower in any usecase which doesn't involve simply replying to a quick email.
Two biggest issues:
a) if you reply to an email, the composer covers the text of the original mail so you can't read it
b) if you open an attachment it completely covers the whole window so you can't see anything else.This functionality has been standard on all other mail clients I've used for a very long time and seems like a very odd thing to overlook.

Proton devs, take note! Separating a new message composition into to an independent draggable window is essential for business use and is pretty much an expected feature by anyone using a multi-monitor desktop display. This feature is standard on MS Outlook.
