Google will slowly be rolling out a number of changes for consumer Gmail users and G Suite users. Some of the changes improve usability and productivity, while others are meant to maximize data and user protection. Some of the new security options should help enterprise users meed GDPR compliance needs.
[...] Gmail confidential mode will allow users to:
- Set expiration dates for emails or revoke previously sent messages
- Secure access to the contents of emails by requiring recipients to enter a password
- Restrict the recipients’ ability to forward, copy, download or print emails.
These things will be possible because these emails will not be actually downloaded in the recipients’ inbox, but will be placed on a separate page/window where their content can be viewed, and the email will show that page.
Guess I'll be switching to ProtonMail for my webmail needs, which, granted, are few.

Google did so much for Crooked Hillary. With the very biased search. This very special EMAIL, it would have been great for her. Instead of the illegal server. Maybe it's something she asked for. I don't know. Maybe Anthony Wiener (also a Dem) asked for it. Folks, we're living in the Age of Social Media. I don't do EMAIL. I use Snapchat when I'm sending a very special message. The lady sees my message, then it goes away. PERFECTO!!!!
