While I understand that users can be easily overwhelmed with a plethora of options, this one makes sense.. especially for an email app.
- cuu508 15y agoLooks more like working around deficiency in navigation, than giving more control. Rethink your UX, put together prototypes, user-test, and repeat. Leave configuration option as last resort. That's the approach for app that wants to "Simplify my life" and "Make me amazing".
- underwater 15y agoThere are hundreds of design decisions that go into any product. Designers can't give each and every one a configuration setting, and can't know before launch which decisions will be the wrong ones. If the back button did it's job properly then the feature would just work; you wouldn't need to manually configure it to match your mental model.
