Im a self confessed obsessive user of Gmail and almost all my mails are forwarded to my gmail account and more often than not im working with either wifi or my data card connection to use my mail account. If you are like me then this next piece of news should be good news to you.
Gmail has rolled out an experimental feature in Gmail Labs that should help those struggling with a slow connection or even a no connection at all. Google has announced gmail offline which uses Gears to download a local cache of your mail which is synchronized with Gmail’s servers when your online and accessible when you are offline. So once in offline mode gmail uses the data stored on your computer’s hard drive instead of the information sent across the network.
Check an intro video to the feature:

I tried activating this on my Gmail but for some reason it doesn’t show up in My labs setting. I guess its still rolling out across all Gmail users. Eagerly awaiting for this one to be launched full fledged.
