    Recently you implemented an infinite scroll feature, "Continue Scrolling to Load Next Email"
    First of all, the little banner thing that pops up with that message is super annoying. Halfway through the message this little banner thing starts popping up, WITH MOTION. it's extremely distracting, especially because every time I scroll a little bit it pops in and then pops back out, WITH MOTION. It covers up a substantial portion of the bottom of the screen, which as you might guess, is roughly always the area I'm trying to read. Whenever I need to unsubscribe from something, this little banner often is just the right location to cover up the unsubscribe button so I have to wait for it to go away.
    Furthermore, this is not functionality I want. I read emails oldest to newest always. This feature only works newest to oldest. So it becomes a real liability, especially because it's really sensitive. If I accidentally scroll SLIGHTLY too far past the end of the email (and how am I supposed to ALWAYS know when a email is ending?) I'm on to the next email even though, again, I never want to be. A likely scenario with that is it marks an email as read that I want left unread. Now I have to mark the email unread, go back to inbox, find the email I actually want, scroll to the bottom, make sure I don't scroll to far, wait for the banner pop up to go away, and finish reading my email. And now I'm always stressed when I'm nearing the bottom of an email because now I have to be careful I don't scroll too far.
    Everything about this new "feature" really sucks. If you want to keep it in, fine, but don't make me use it. If you're going to force me to use then at least make it not so terrible, please. Toning down that stupid banner would go a long way.
