Using Gmail When You’re Not Online

Google Chrome App Makes Offline Gmail Easy

I was talking with my partner Albert and my friend Matt the other day. I was saying that the thing I miss most about flying without wifi is the ability to clean out my inbox. And Albert said that he’d always know when I had landed because his inbox would get a flood of incoming email from me. Matt laughed and said he was well known for doing the same inside his company.

I think I am going to fly across the country today without wifi so I’ll get the opportunity to clean out my inbox and I’m going to use a relatively new feature to do that.

Google has released a Chrome app for offline gmail. It allows you to load gmail in Chrome when you are offline. When you do that, it looks like this:

I’ve had this app installed in Chrome for a few weeks now but I’ve not had the chance to test it out. I think I’m going to get to do that today. I’m curious if any of you are using offline gmail and if so, how well it works.
