Can you reorganize the icons at the bottom of email?

I am constantly accidentally archiving emails with my palm in my iPhone 13. The dimensions must be just different enough from the 11 where this is now a problem for me. Is there a way to reorganize the icons so I can put another icon in the lower left corner?

iPad Mail App icons At the bottom of the Mail app are some icons, and i'm not sure exactly what they do. If there is documentation on them, i'm not sure where it is hidden, as i have searched the web fruitlessly. though honestly, i am not sure what to search, as i'm not even sure what to call the icons! the one on the left is 3 bars, of varying lengths, and when i tap it, it seems to show some filtering options, though i'm not sure how to turn the filters off, as when i tap the checkmark next to "Unread", it stays checked, and i cannot seem to get it to show ALL emails, including the read ones. secondly, there is an icon that looks similar to the "copy" icons i've seen in some apps, like two rounded squares, offset by a little bit, one overlaying the other. when i tap it, it brings up a slew of icons across the bottom, some saying "Mail" and others saying "New Message", and i am not sure how to get rid of them, or what they are, or what this "copy" icon even is for! all i know is, even if i completely close the app and stop it from running, when i reopen Mail, those icons are strung across the bottom. i can swipe them off to the side, and they just go on for days, alternating between "Mail" and "New Message". what ARE these? how did they get there? how do i remove them? and how do i keep this from happening again??? thank you.

iPad email app - annoying shelf in app Hi, when opening the iPad email app every time a shelf with mail thumbnails pops up at the bottom. This is a completely useless feature and just clutters up the initial view. The thumbnails are useless since you can’t actually read what messages they are and they are not draft messages. How do I disable the shelf feature inside the app?

Email settings / changing icons In mail app I was wondering if there is a way to change the icons on the bottom of the screen when in the mail app and selected on an email. Cause at the moment there are icons for archiving the email, moving the email to a different mailbox, replying to the email and creating an new email. I want to change the archive icon to the bin icon
