Wonder if it is related to this news.

Aside from the new-look web app and Tasks mobile apps, Google also announced new security features, including Gmail confidential mode, and expanded AI capabilities like smart replies and notification priority settings.

Confidential mode is the biggest new Gmail security feature. This lets users not only lock a message containing sensitive information, but lets you set an expiration date for when the email will disappear, the same way an ephemeral message would on Snapchat. If a message is locked, it needs to be authenticated either by granting access or using additional two-factor authentication via SMS.

There's also more granular control in confidential mode over what the recepient can do you with that email, including the ability for senders to enable or revoke privileges like forwarding or downloading attachments. Google redesigned Gmail's security warnings to more prominently label potential phishing traps or other high-risk emails, a welcome addition especially given Gmail's recent scam issues.

Yes. Any cloud-based e-mail system (Hotmail GMail YahooMail) needs to be able to have the drafts pulled up anywhere. So they are still saved online (obv that is how the shared access thing works). Maybe obvious but it was not always that way… back in the old days your drafts were saved locally on your hard drive and only went out to another server when the messages were sent. (I guess Outlook is like that too.)

There are lots of other avenues for doing that (companies that will set up online conference calls… we use them for work)

I guess the attraction is that if noone suspects that that type of conversation would ever happen in that type of forum, then noone would ever think to monitor said forum.
