Solution: Google has launched a new service to let you compose emails offline
I've used Gmail as my primary email service for over 18 months now and I've been very impressed with the product. It's fast, reliable, easy-to-use and more importantly - totally free.
The only major issue I've encountered with Gmail is the inability for a user to compose an email offline and let it sit in their outbox until they connect to the Internet. This is a particularly useful feature for people that fly or spend long periods of time away form a Net connection, and many of you may be familiar with it from email applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express.
I'm pleased to report that Google has addressed this issue and now users can enable an "offline" option within their Gmail settings. This lets users click on a Gmail icon that sits on their desktop whenever they're offline, and they can log-in and compose as many emails as desired. Each email automatically sits in a user's outbox, and then as soon as the user connects to the Inernet that email will be sent.
This brings some genuinely useful offline functionality to Gmail and takes it one step closer to becoming a truly realistic option to replace many standard email clients.
