flattr this!

googlegearsLast month, Google went from having offline Gmail access in beta to being released to all users. The feature was tested for about a year prior to this, and although offline features are expected to be implemented through HTML 5 in the future, the current technology is powered by the Google Gears plugin. It’s installed in the Chrome browser and can be downloaded as an add-in for Internet Explorer or Firefox.

To Turn on Offline Access in Gmail:

mail won’t have to make any changes but those who had never turned on the setting will need to do the following:
Click the “Settings” link in the top-right corner of Gmail.
Click the “Offline” tab.
Select “Enable Offline Mail for this computer.”
Click “Save Changes” and follow the directions from there.

In the top-right corner click the “Settings” link .

Click the “Offline” tab.

Select “Enable Offline Mail for this computer.”

Click “Save Changes”. Gears will then ask if you trust the site, and go through an installation, which downloads mail onto your machine.
