Google is adding a new “External” label to Gmail. You will begin to see the label added to email threads that include people outside Allegheny College. This adds to the existing external recipient warning banner, which is displayed when responding to emails sent from people not using Allegheny College email addresses.
The “External” label will be visible on Gmail on the web and Android devices. Google plans to add this feature to iOS devices in the future.
The “External” label and the reply warning banner and label are helpful reminders to treat external messages with caution. This can help prompt users to consider carefully before sharing confidential information with people outside the college.
