Gmail Confidential Mode: A few days ago we mentioned that improvements are coming in Gmail with a new design and features, but it looks like Google is getting ready to add a new Confidentiality feature (Confidential Mode).
Verge unveiled the new design earlier this week, alongside some of the new features such as quick response to emails, the ability to postpone emails, and a new sidebar to add or synchronize calendar appointments to messages .
Today, then we learned that Google will also add Confidential Mode, which will allow Gmail users to block certain message forwarding features or limit the ability copys, downloading or printing to recipients.
Google with the new feature will allow Gmail users to require passwords access to open some emails, which will be generated via SMS. Users of the service will also be able to set an expiration date for sent messages.
Gmail Confidential Mode functions are similar to those found in Microsoft's Outlook app. These features will greatly attract them businesses who want more control over how emails are used by recipients.
Google has confirmed that the updated Gmail will be released shortly and even revealed that it will be available in the coming weeks.
Google's I/O developer conference starts on May 8, and it's very likely that we'll see all the above features along with the new Gmail design on that date. Google during the conference is expected to announce more updates and other web services.
