[Software] Do you regret sending an email?

[WilkerCSBD]

E-mail is an Internet service that has been with us for a good number of years, but it is still widely used at all levels, both professional and domestic, so the firms that provide their services in this regard do not stop improving platforms offered.

This is the case of one of the most used email clients in the world, Google's Gmail, something that the search giant continues to work on with the aim of being able to offer the best email service to its millions of customers. Well, in an attempt to mature Gmail, the company a few months ago began working on a privacy-focused feature called "confidential mode" that, according to announcements made by the firm itself, will finally be available to all users of G suite in June.

And it is that in some cases, especially in the business field, the mail is a widely used element, so with this "confidential mode" what is intended is to make available to users an addition regarding their privacy when working with Gmail on a daily basis. In this way and with the “confidential mode” activated, users will receive help in establishing certain controls for the management of information rights.

Among these we can highlight the function that allows you to set a specific expiration date for emails, so they will be automatically deleted after the established deadline. At the same time, another advantage that this mode will present to us is being able to delete the emails sent before being read if we regret or change our mind for any reason.

Gmail's "confidential mode" will increase the privacy of our emails
It's also important to know that this new Gmail feature will also allow users to send self-destructing emails that will also restrict forwarding.

In fact, as explained, since a sender may require additional authentication via text message to view an email, it is also possible to protect that data while the message is active. Therefore, when all this arrives in Gsuite on June 25, the first thing we must do is make sure that we use the most recent version of Gmail while we verify that we have the “confidential mode” activated.

What there is no doubt is that this new functionality that is going to be integrated into Google's mail service, will serve to have greater control in everything related to the treatment of our emails, something that will surely be appreciated by many companies that make massive use of it to maintain contact with customers and partners.
