Use The Offline Gmail

Gmail as we all know that it is a short form for Google Mail, it is one of the products of Google INC. In the race of email clients Gmail is rushing its way to the top with more and more abilities and thus attracting more users from other mail accounts which you can say yahoo and outlook (formerly known as hotmail). They have introduced much extra features through lab features which are right now in testing stage but users can still use them. You can view and enable them from the tab which appears in right most corner of the gmail.



The latest feature right now is the 'Offline Gmail' - to access gmail from computer, which ultimately gives the power to download all or selected gmail mails or messages to your pc for the offline use. Offline Gmail is still and early experimental feature.
