Expiration date for emails | Possible upcoming feature for Gmail
Google is giving users another way to manage their email inboxes as part of its new Gmail design. The self-destruct feature will allow people to set an expiration date for emails. Google has added a new calendar design and some additional settings to incoming messages, but they’re betting on self-destructing messages. After the designated “expiry date”, the message will no longer be available for read.
When composing new emails, there will be an option that you can click on called ‘Confidential Mode’, which sets the expiration date of the message. With the “confidential mode,” you can ask recipients to confirm their identities with a password. The recipients of this message won’t be able to forward, download or print it and won’t be able to copy its contents.
The “confidential feature” has a broad market potential, but currently is only available to a limited audience of users. As of today, with not much information on the project we can only make assumption. We could, though have a look at ProtonMail’s expiring emails. Follow the link for more.
