These components can be hidden or re-arranged to best suit your needs and accessibility. To hide a component from the top bar, hover over the respective component listed under the Top bar section in the left menu and click the Eye icon.
Note:
You cannot hide Send and Send Later simultaneously as any one of the two buttons is necessary to perform the Send action.
To re-arrange the components, click and hold the component to drag and drop in the desired position either on the left menu or in the Compose Preview layout.
Header fields
The header of Zoho Mail's email composer consists of the following fields:
- To/ Cc/ Bcc
- Subject
These fields can either be hidden or re-arranged based on your requirements. To hide a field from the header, hover over the field listed under the Header fields section in the left menu and click on the Eye icon.
Note:
- You cannot hide From field as a sender is necessary to send an email.
- You can hide only any two of the To, Cc, or Bcc fields as a recipient is required to send an email.

Toolbar
You can format your email with rich text options using the formatting tools in the toolbar of Zoho Mail's email composer layout. However, you may not always use all of the tools, and some may never be used. To suit your needs, you can choose to ungroup the default collection, hide specific tools, and group commonly used tools together. This will help you to have a larger content area in relation to the toolbar.
To hide a formatting tool from the toolbar, hover over the field listed under the Toolbar section on the left menu and click on the Eye icon. To re-arrange, un-group, or group the formatting tools, click and hold the tool to drag and drop in the desired position or group on the left menu and visualize the change on the Compose preview layout.
You can also drag and drop a tool in the desired position from the toolbar itself.
You can choose to switch back to the default layout settings anytime by clicking on the Restore to default button on the top-right corner of the Compose preview layout.
