All right, I will rework this to not use IDs but rather have classes to programmatically hide and show based on the account type.

Quick question to understand the workflow.

**Start a new compose window with Newsgroup account**
- The `Newsgroups` field is visible.
- The `To` field is hidden.
- The `Follow Up` label is visible on the right side of the identity menulist.
- Every other label is inside the popup panel.

Correct?

The user changes the identity from a `news` to an `imap` account?
- Should we hide the `Newsgroups` field or leave it open?
- Should we automatically show again the `To` field?
- Should we reorder the labels accordingly?

How do we handle pills already created? Do we leave them in?

**Proposed approach**
- Only hide/show the `To` field when changing identity.
- Any other opened field should retain its status.
