Mac OS 26 Tahoe Mail Send Button Placement - Can it be moved?

Has anyone else noticed that the new blue "Send" button in MacOS 26 Tahoe Mail is really annoying now that they have moved it all the way over to the right. This is actually really bad UX/UI. When you compose an email, you are naturally going to travel the LEAST amount in order to click send and at first, I didn't even know where it was. Now, I have to mouse all the way over to the upper right just to click send, when the obvious and most comfortable action is to just click send right there where you are, which, is usually over to the left since in most cases everything to do with composing an email is left justified.

Is there a way to relocated the blue send button? How can I let Apple know how annoying this is and at least get an option to arrange that function so it's over on the left hand side, which also, is where most all people expect it to be.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0

Yeah, in Gmail, Outlook, and in Mail (prior to OS 26) it is always over to the left, either down below or up above but that's just conventional practice. Either way, even if they provided an option to have it placed on the left that would be great.

I just discovered that they already do. Open a new message window, secondary-click (control-click, two-finger click) in the toolbar, select Customize Toolbar then just drag the button where you want it. You can put a spacer in if you don't want it right next to the stoplight buttons, move the timed send options next to it (as it was in macOS 15 Sequoia), etc. Have fun!

Odd...I did not customize mine in Tahoe and it was already on the right:

Not so odd. It defaults on the right. The OP wanted it on the left.

I just moved mine back to the top left side. Whoever thought about moving it to the top right wasn't thinking clearly.

If you want to move the send Mail icon that seems to be on the right hand side on the email window in Tahoe, press the Command key and grab the icon and drag it to the left hand side.

You can move it with the Command key

Move it to the left hand side by dragging it while holding down the Command Key.

Not a problem.

Why does Apple always mess with something that isn't broken? Are they that arrogant that they have to change things just to look busy?

I discovered that also. But if you want more of a space between send button and the small colored close/minimize/full screen buttons on the left, you have to add it through the toolbar.
