I dare say that I don't expect automatic deletion of emails from your inbox is not a feature many users are clamoring for, whether they have privacy concerns or not. Hence I don't think the lack of it is for monetization puposes or the lack.



If you are a business customer you can set an email retention period for your domain (under the 'Compliance' section) which deletes all emails and chat messages after N days.


Users should clamor for a feature that automatically delete emails with subject=password after say a week.

In theory the links are only valid for a few hours. In practice I don't trust that.

Even then, it's not about clamoring, but just having a way to create rules. You just can't do that easily in gmail.


Why not just delete the mail right after clicking the link?
