Gmail Offline App
We have for years discussed why Gmail is our favorite web email service available, but how do you use a web-based service when there’s no Internet connection?
Gmail users know why we are such huge fans: it has great tools and spam filters.
But what happens when you don’t have an Internet connection, but still need to respond to emails or read your pile of unread messages.
Gmail Offline to the rescue.
Gmail Offline is an app that will allow you to work with your Gmail account, even when you are not online.
It allows you to respond to messages and search through your old messages, but how?
Just install the Chrome plugin and it will automatically start synchronizing your messages whenever you’re online and you open the Chrome browser.
The user interface is a lot like the tablet version of the Gmail app so it’s fast and focuses on the things you most likely need, your email and contacts.
To use the app, just sign into your account, open a new tab and click on the icon. You’re now up and running!
The app also provides offline capabilities for Google Calendar and Google Docs as well!
The next time you have to fly across the country, you won’t have to buy an expensive in-flight internet package to be productive!
