First hand experience of using offline Gmail
Google blog announced that offline Gmail is a reality now. Virtually like MS Outlook, all messages can be searched and newly composed messages on pressing send will coolly reside in outbox waiting to fly way on slightest whiff of Internet connectivity.
The experience has been great. It has quite a few features of MS Outlook but of course not all of them. In offline mode contacts can not be updated and spellchecker doesn’t work. One thing which is of a bit surprise to me is that tasks have not been synced. Like messages, they could very well have been.
Once you have checked enable option in Google Labs on Gmail setting option, to enable offline Gmail, you will have to compulsorily install Google Gears, the same system which provides for background integration in Google Documents and Zoho Mail. Offline Gmail is going to be hit with all the users who have slow Internet connection.
Best part of the offline Gmail is you can save lot of energy and Internet expenses when you resort to offline Gmail. The documents once loaded will be available for you to read on and surf through. Google was in to development of offline Gmail for quite sometime. And according to Gmail Engineer, Andy Palay, Google has been internally using offline Gmail for sometime now. Google has also added that offline Gmail is in experimental mode only, so users can expect some blips while using it. In any case the development is good and users will love the experience.

You can download all your emails in your office or your home and read them one by one when you commute.
Update: Yeah I missed an important point here. Gmail can now be accessed while you are in a plane.
