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.
