Missing the Gmail style Compose overlay. Advice?

​

Hey former Gmail users:

I'm having trouble getting comfortable with way Fastmail does Compose. In Gmail, it's an overlay that sits at the bottom of your inbox and can be minimized/restored as needed. This is nice because I can keep everything in one browser window and reference other emails, search inbox, etc as I'm composing.

In Fastmail, Compose either takes up the whole window or you have to pop it out into its own window and jump between windows to reference things, which isn't always easy when multitasking with other tasks open on your PC.

So I'm just curious how former Gmail folks deal with this. Any tips? Or will I just need to get used to it?
