Google has at last taken Gmail offline by integrating it with Google Gears. The plug-in once installed caches your emails when you go offline, making it possible for you to read them without being connected. This would only enable functions that don’t need internet connection, like opening attachments, reading but in order to have features like spellcheck work one needs to be logged in. Nonetheless this is just the beginning, one that Gmail users like myself would love to have got hands at.
