Google Gmail is undoubtedly one of the most-used email services in the market and Google often improves it by adding new features and changes. Now, the Mountain View giant has added the ability to use Gmail offline, without an active internet connection.
Check out how to enable offline mode in Gmail and how it works right here!
Any email service, including Google Gmail, needs to be connected to the internet in order for users to check their inbox, receive new emails, and reply to them.
However, users will be able to access essentially all of the features of the Google email service without any internet connection if the offline mail mode for Gmail is set. Checking their mailbox, reading unread emails, and even sending new emails to recipients will all be possible.
Instructions to enable Google Gmail Offline Mode
Therefore, take the instructions below to get started with Gmail’s offline mode right immediately.
-Open your Google Gmail account on your Mac, Linux, or Windows PC and access the settings using the cog icon at the top right corner. In the pop-up menu, select “See all settings” to open the settings menu.
-Go to the “Offline” tab from the top navigation bar
-On this page, check the box for “Enable offline mail” to turn on offline mode for Gmail. You can also choose the desired settings for the feature.
-Once done, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom.
Gmail will automatically sync your most recent emails for offline access and preserve them for a set amount of time, ranging from 7 days to 90 days when the offline mode is on.
It is important to note that sending an email in offline mode will not really get the message to the intended recipient. As an alternative, it will store the written email in the “Outbox” folder and send it as soon as the user is connected again. Google advises users to bookmark Gmail on their Chrome browsers so they can access the service even when they are offline.
