1. Enhanced security and confidential mode

Communication to be secure is Google's latest agenda for keeping your privacy. The new Built-in Information Rights Management (IRM) will allow only recipients selected by you to print, copy or download the messages that they receive. Google promises to not read your messages for better advertisements targeted at you.

The recipient can only view your email with an OTP sent to them(if you wish to make such settings keep reading). You can also set an expiration date to the actions that can be taken on the message received. (Here, expiration doesn't mean the message will be deleted post expiry date.) This is useful when you are sending confidential information like bank statements over email.

1. While composing the message select the icon for confidentiality settings on the bottom right of the compose message box.

2. Select the desired expiration date and OTP settings from "SMS passcode" (if you wish to enable any).

2. Snooze

Just like your alarm can be put on snooze until you want, you can snooze notifications for new messages until you are ready to attend them. This can be useful when you are on a vacation and need to attend only top priority email as an exception (settings discussed further in this article), this feature is a handful.

1. Hower your mouse on the email to snooze the sender's notifications and select the icon.

Note: You can still view the snoozed messages under Inbox tab by the tab name SNOOZED MESSAGES if you wish to.

3. Predictive text

How great is it for someone to finish your sentences? -Google will do that in this case for you with its Machine Learning abilities. Based on your previous input and writing patterns, automatic typing works on a beginners level. The technology giant is still working on this feature but can do the basics glitch-free at the moment.

4. Smart Reply

7. Tools and Add-ons

Gmail's UI has neater tools for archiving messages, deleting them and what's new to it is snoozing. The new sidebar integrates Google's many applications like Google Keep, Google Calendar, for making a transition between applications in a single window as opposed to multiple operating windows. This is synchronized across all your devices so you never miss a thing. From the G-Suite marketplace, you can many more Google Applications of your interest.

8. Offline Mode
