Question Disappearing or Temp Email
The reason I'm posting this under the security section is because I would like to send someone a highly confidential email with certain security measures. A few years ago I remember reading about email that would "self destruct" after a certain preset time frame and could not be forwarded to other people. I have searched for such a service but cannot find any. Does anyone know of an Outlook plugin or a stand alone service where I can send a temporary, non-forwarding email?

Thanks

Generally speaking, if someone can view an email, they can copy it, or at the very least take a screen shot and then forward this to other people. If you don't want the data spread, then don't send it to someone that you don't trust.

As for sending and receiving secure emails, there are various good public key encryption systems available, just use google.
