Tutorial : How to Send Confidential Mail with Expiry Date in Gmail
If you want to send an e-mail whose access only you have, then this Confidential mode gives you the facility.
In Confidential mode, we mail to someone, but access to that email is not always with him. For some time he can see or read that mail. In this feature, we can put the date of expiration date of our email.
After applying this setting, that email cannot be forwarded, copied, printed or downloaded.
You can send messages and attachments with Gmail's confidential mode to help protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. You can use confidential mode to set an expiry date for messages or revoke access at any time.
How you can put Confidential Mode in your sent email:

Remember, while entering the passcode, send the number to the person to whom you are sending the email.
7. Finally click on Save.
