Also security warnings for phishing emails.  Locked emails can be set to disappear from 1 day to 5 years.

The tools work even with emails sent to non-Gmail accounts.

Having trouble imagining how that works.

This on the other hand...

Confidential Mode emails will open in a special window that doesn't allow the recipient to forward, copy or print the message (though you can still grab a screenshot). There's an option to revoke an email at any time. The tools work even with emails sent to non-Gmail accounts.

So, its going to open up an outside link (no doubt encrypted) with none of the information actually being embedded in the actual email.
