Google has released from their Labs, Google Offline Mail service which means you can now view, search and compose Google Emails even when no Internet connection is available. Isn't that exciting?
How Google does this? If you're using IE7 or Firefox, they will prompt you to install a small background service called Google Gears in your computer. Google Gears will be the one responsible for caching and synchronizing all your email data with their remote servers. It does this automatically without you having to notice it after your first sync process.
What I like about GMail over outlook is that it is:
- simple and straightforward,
- full feature and very fast searching capability,
- huge storage space for mails - 7Gb, and
- very portable.
Now, I have every reason to tell my two brothers to dump their old, clunky and highly inefficient M$ Outlook and move in to Google Mail service instead.
Enjoy your offline email browsing with Google Mail
