Gmail "Confidential Mode" Has Arrived

On April 28, 2018 I wrote about Gmail's new "Confidential Mode". At that time I said "Confidential mode isn't quite here yet, but should begin to roll out in the coming weeks."

Well today (May 12th) the option to use confidential mode appeared in my e-mail.

If you use Gmail you now have another option to secure your e-mail communications.  What I have noticed so far is: you seem to have to be logged into Google to access messages sent in confidential mode. You can "screen shot" a confidential mode message while it is open.

If you use Gmail, and have upgraded to the new version, check your account for the new confidential mode button. Let's test this new security feature and see if we can determine the best ways to use it in our e-mail (Gmail) communications.
