Gmail is getting a new look-and some new features-when the next update rolls out in a few weeks. The Verge notes, though, that recipients will still be able to take screenshots or photos of these confidential emails. Apparently, the new self-destructing emails feature which will allow the users to put a timestamp to their mails after which the email won't be available anymore has been termed as the "Confidential Mode" in Gmail. Gmail will let users configure expiration date for expiring mails such as a week, month, multiple years, and more.
Both had ordered Google to remove search results about their convictions, including links to news articles, stating that they were no longer relevant. New design and features will be added in this update along with the ability to reply fast to emails, to snooze emails until later, and a new sidebar to place calendar appointments side by side with messages. "But it doesn't seem to be stopping Google as the company is now evolving beyond the simple POP3/IMAP/SMTP protocols", TechCrunch reported late on Friday. The user will also be able to set password requirement, where the recipient has to confirm their identity via a code/OTP sent to the recipient as a text message to access the email.
When composing an email it appears users will be able to click a lock that prevents the contents of said communication being forwarded, copied, pasted, printed or downloaded. The recipient had to log into their Google account once again to view the content.
TechCrunch, who received the information from a tipster with early access, points out this could be a ploy to get more Gmail users' phone numbers.

Study finds major gaps in Holocaust knowledge among Americans
A 1985 poll , for instance, found that 32 percent of people did not know what the Holocaust was, compared to 11 percent today. Two-thirds of millennials could not identify in the survey what Auschwitz was.
While Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle are viewed as the major contenders for the job, Google's employees have voiced concern about creating products for the USA government.
End-to-end encryption is also not mentioned by Google anywhere. According to TechCrunch, the Confidential Mode feature could be released at the same time or could be delayed to a subsequent update.
