Offline Gmail Gmail just announced the launch of Offline-Gmail on Gmail Labs. Once this feature is activated, you can use Gmail as a regular service even when you are offline.

You can compose, star, delete, etc.. when offline, all of these actions are stored on your local computer and once you are connected to the internet these actions are synchronized with the Gmail server. So, the mails you have composed or sent while offline will sit in your “outbox” until you connect to the internet.

Here is what you got to do to enable this feature (from Gmail post)

Click Settings and click the Labs tab.
Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
Click Save Changes.
After your browser reloads, you’ll see a new "Offline0.1" link in the upper right-hand corner of your account, next to your username. Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don’t already have it.

This feature uses Google Gears technology to make all the Gmail features available offline by maintaining a copy of your Gmail on your PC.

This feature is being made available to Gmail users in US or UK English. So, if you don’t see this feature already, don’t worry you will see it soon.
