I don't care for most of your new features, the things these big-brained users suggest. They're extraneous and useless to me. I just want basic email.

Every time you roll out these enhancements, I end up spending time trying to figure out how to disable them. Take the Views dropdown in Mail, for example. Another useless feature I can't turn off. Now I'm stuck staring at it while it gets in the way of my workflow.

Why not ship new features in the OFF state, with a tooltip or quick tour to introduce them to users who might actually want them. Why force them on everyone by default? Is that intentional?

And why would you ever ship a feature without a toggle? Are you so sure everyone wants it? Because I don't.

If you need to ship new features to keep executives happy, that's understandable. But please give us a toggle to turn these bright ideas off. Some of these features feel like they were dreamed up by someone who thought saving half a click was worth sacrificing the overall user experience. Meanwhile, those of us who just want a simple, functional email client get stuck with the consequences.

If you like Zoho, go use Zoho.

We don't need another SMS app. Signal already did it well.

Users don't want AI features forced on them, so ship them with a toggle.

I'm looking through these feature requests and thinking, "Holy Christ, I hope they don't actually implement that garbage." Some of these ideas are just bad.

Good luck to the dev team, and thanks for listening!
