Bom, a partir de hoje (como sempre, nem todos os usuários terão acesso no primeiro dia — e somente os que têm o serviço ...

It'll also work in situations with no connection at all - on a plane, for example, or a bus. To activate offline access, go to the Labs section of your GMail. It should be in the list there. If it's not yet (it's not for me) then give it a few hours and it should show up. Once activated, click the "Offline 0.1" link in the upper righthand corner to set everything up.

... technology to offer the offline access. Showing it’s even more experimental than Gmail itself, Offline Gmail is available only through Gmail Labs, and typically, it’s being rolled out slowly. Google describes it thusly : Once you turn on this feature, Gmail uses Gears to download a local cache of your mail. As long as you’re connected to the network, that cache is synchronized with Gmail’s servers. When you lose your connection, Gmail automatically switches to offline mode, and uses the data stored on your computer’s hard drive instead of the information sent across the ...

Do You Use a Mail Client, Which One, and Why or Why Not?
jkOnTheRun —
... For me, it’s simply a matter of preference and the fact that I sometimes like to keep web reading & writing separate from mail activities. At times like that, I use Mac Mail to segregate my activities. There’s really not much of a technical advantage to my using Mac Mail, or any other client for that matter. The main reason I used a mail client at all was because I wanted offline access to my mail; Gmail’s newly added offline feature has essentially resolved that, so there’s no longer a reason I need to use a mail client any longer. ...
