If you’re relying on the remote server to delete something, you can’t trust it no matter what protocol you’re using.
For a regular email, the chance to undo might be fine, but for real time communication, it’s just an unnecessary road block.
Maybe if it was optional per recipient, or per conversation, or better yet, depending on the presence of a header, it might be fine. Gmail only supports all-on or all-off.
I mean yeah I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but for the 99% of regular communication it’s fine. That’s no reason to not have it in the protocol and muck around with 10 second delays instead.
