Inbox zero may be a total pipe dream, but you can still show your inbox some love.
3. Use Confidential ModeGmail's recently added Confidential mode is a more secure method of email delivery—the recipient can't copy, forward, print or download the message, you can set it to expire after a certain time, and you can even protect access with a passcode .
You can activate Confidential mode by clicking on the small padlock symbol at the bottom of the compose window. It's particularly worthwhile switching on for those messages with private or sensitive contents, anything where you want to be absolutely sure that no one else is going to be able to read what's inside a message.
At the other end of a confidential email, the recipient will be able to see the expiration date that you've added, and won't have all the usual options for forwarding and printing available to them. The maximum amount of time a confidential email can exist is five years, so this isn't for messages that you want to stick around forever.
A few caveats to these self-destructing, super-secure messages: If the people getting these emails aren't using the official Gmail apps, they'll need to open the messages up on the web instead. Also, bear in mind that there's nothing to stop your contacts taking screenshots of confidential messages and then passing on those images, so the mode is best used for people you trust.
If you're on a computer shared by your family, your colleagues, visitors to your local library, or anyone else, make sure this data is deleted once you log out. Click the cog icon from the main inbox screen, then
