    The delay is there because email has no deletion support.

    And a host of other shortcomings.

    I’d rather we replaced email with matrix

      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.
