Gmail gets Offline Attachment Support
Techtree News Staff, Nov 25, 2009 1320 hrs ISTNow attach files even when Gmail is Offline using Google Gears
Adding attachments to Gmail can be quite a pain at times when the Internet connection is slow or intermittent. Google has been improving attachment feature in Gmail and has now brought offline attachment support for it. Of course, the Offline Gmail is powered by Google Gears introduced in January this year. Google Chrome web browser users have Google Gears already installed.
Gmail's certain interfaces such as Gmail Mobile App, iGoogle's Gmail Gadget or Gmail's Mobile - don't allow attachments. Starting today, users who have Offline Gmail enabled through Gmail Labs can attach files to Gmail when offline. However, when offline, one can't add inline images.
Once Offline Gmail is enabled, all emails go through Outbox - just like desktop based MS Outlook express and sends mail through it even if you're offline. To use this feature, you'll have to enable Offline Gmail from the Gmail Labs and then reload the tab/web browser to see the "Offline" link on the top right corner of Gmail page.
Again, one needs to download Google Gears to enjoy the Offline Gmail functionality. With Offline Gmail now supporting attachments, all those working on netbooks and using low-speed Internet connections can send add large files (upper limit 20MB) to Gmail.
