The user experience for public users changing their email address is a bit clunky. Following the new email verification link drops them on the homepage with no feedback as to whether or not the email was updated. Additionally, it logs them out. As far as I can tell the only way around this is writing a custom plugin that duplicates a lot of logic from the UsersController.

A few ideas to improve this flow:

1. Add postVerifyNewEmailSuccessRedirect / postVerifyNewEmailFailureRedirect configuration so that we can direct users following the email verification links to a page with feedback.
2. Expose notices / errors to those templates.
3. Don't log out a user following a verification link if they are already logged in as the user associated with that token.
