Gmail can be accessed offline now

Google has just introduced several changes to its hugely popular Chrome app that enables you to access your Gmail account even when you are offline. The best feature of this bunch would be the ability to select just how many days’ worth of offline mail you want to view, where they range from one week, two weeks, and all the way to 31 days. This does seem to come in handy if you plan to take a trip to a place where there is no Wi-Fi connection, or if you happen to be on a long flight and yet want to retrieve your email so that you can continue with your work without having to spend more and subscribe to inflight Wi-Fi.

Not only that, additional enhancements were thrown into the mix by the Google team, where using the offline app feels seamless as all attachments are now downloaded beforehand, and are readily available for offline use. In addition to that, assuming you are one who enables keyboard shortcuts, all settings will be transferred over to the Gmail offline app. Messages as well as attachments will be downloaded faster than ever as some bugs have also been fixed.
