Gmail as we all know a short form for
Google Mail is
one of the products of Google INC. In the race of email clients Gmail is
coming up with more and more abilities which has attracted millions of
users from other mail accounts like yahoo, msn. They have introduced
much extra features through lab features which are presently in testing
stage but users can still use it .You can view and enable them from the
tab which appears in right most corner of the gmail.
The latest lab feature is the ‘offline gmail’ – to access gmail from
computer,which ultimately gives the power to download all or selected
gmail mails or messages to your pc for the offline use. Offline Gmail is
still an early experimental feature
How to enable Offline Gmail
Offline Gmail is available to everyone who uses
Gmail in US or UK English, so if you don’t see it under the Labs tab
yet, it should be there soon. Once you see it, just follow these steps
to get started:
1. Click Settings and click the Labs tab.
2. Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
3. Click Save Changes.
4. After your browser reloads, you’ll see a new “Offline0.1″ link in the
upper righthand 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.
When you hit save, Gmail will synchronize new messages you didn’t
have downloaded before and remove the ones you’re not planning to read
from your hard drive. You can always change your settings back to keep
fewer or moremessages later on — fewer messages means Offline Gmail runs
faster
New Features of Gmail Offline
The feature that Google implemented through Gmail Labs, Gmail
offline, just received new functionality. That is, even when offline you
can write an email and attach any file that when you have Internet
access, the email will be sent automatically. It manages to offer a
little more versatility in equipment such as netbooks or laptops.
The good thing about this is that being able to read messages while
offline, and now write to attach a file, compared with a desktop mail
client virtually no difference.
The new functionality to attach files offline has been integrated
transparently to users, so if you had “Offline” live in GMail Labs,
enjoy it directly and by activating the service, too.
To activate the new functionality, simply visit the Google Labs tab,
select the Offline Gmail option, provided they had not previously
checked, and save your changes. . Then in the top right corner of the
Gmail page you will see a link “Offline”, that we will be able to click
to start using the application.
