​Gmail gets an upgrade

Confidential mode

Sending an email in confidential mode allows the sender to revoke access to that email’s content, either manually or by setting it to expire at a specific time.

Emails sent in confidential mode can also be locked down to stop them being forwarded, downloaded, copy/pasted or printed, or can require two-factor authentication to access.

Hover actions

Rather than having to open each email to interact with messages, users will be able to hover over icons and select from a list of actions, for example to Snooze a message so it appears back at the top of the inbox at a later time.
