Two Unique Features that are lacking in GMail:
1. Gmail should have a feature to allow you to scrub (ie, black-out) certain parts of existing email's text instead of having to delete the entire conversation because it contains sensitive information (e.g. credit card details or photo id images). There
are times you want to keep the conversation but just want to pick-and-choose certain things to black-out.
2. Have a label (folder) entitled "Encrypted" where anything that is dragged-dropped into it is now password protected and not cached locally (has to call server each time) and you must enter another password to open this folder and read the emails contained within.
If your account is compromised this Password Encrypted folder will give you a little peace of mind that other important information about you is not compromised too.
Would be nice to have both features via a Firefox plugin if Google isn't interested in adding them.

This is an eggs in one basket issue. Google
secures your data using a single password. If that
password is compromised then all their data is
compromised including stuff that is extra
encrypted. What you need is another basket, so I
suggest Lastpass or KeyPass+Dropbox and give it a
REALLY good password. Then you can use those
to also give a ridiculously good password to all your
other accounts. Both Lastpass and Keypass have
Firefox plug-ins. |

So this is basically baked (-). |
|
| |
PS Really secure data should NEVER be emailed
unencrypted. |

I have an issue with the idea - in that it is two completely separate and distinct ideas. |
|
| |
1) I like this a lot - an easy method of "redacting" digital data is rising as a feature requirement in all manner of digital content management - that covers databases, email systems, file systems, outsourcing of data, operations and processes overseas and into different jurisdictions, indeed the more data is treated as a commodity to be processed, rather than an end-point consumerable, and it's unknown through whos hands it is passed from its original source to its final destination, the more urgently something like this is required as a standard feature. |
|
| |
2) Not so bothered about this second thing - drop-boxes and cloud storage, encrypted or otherwise are well documented elsewhere, as well as within the range of services provided by Google. |
|
| |
Methinks this would be an issue better addressed to the
folks at Gmail--who would probably say "who's gonna pay
for it?" |

Wow, that's sophisticated. I'm still waiting for GMail to implement a "Forward email" button and a way of quickly locating the attachments link in a long email reply chain. |
|

The redacting bit is good - perhaps you may consider pulling that out as a separate post? |
|
| |
The encrypted folder bit, not so much, per [MisterQED]'s observations. |
|
| |
Er- You mean to say you actually hold a credit card with credit? |
