Esta semana o Google tornou o GMail acessível em modo Offline, permitindo que possa funcionar independentemente de existir ou não uma ligação à Internet. Para mim, que centralizo no GMail o meu mail, Twitter, Friendfeed, Google Docs, Calendar e que o uso como “homepage” do browser, isto são muito boas notícias.Claro que o Outlook, Thunderbird, iMail ou qualquer outro cliente de email o permite fazer mas há duas grandes diferenças:O GMail é na minha opinião (e de muitos outros), um cliente de email quase perfeito! Com o funcionamento offline, deixo de precisar de outros clientes; Com GMail não tenho que instalar software. Basta-me um browser e acedo de forma centralizada ao meu email de qualquer parte: do meu PC, de qualquer PC, iPhone, netbook, etc..Depois de já ter disponibilizado modos Offline no Google Reader, Google Docs e GMail, fica a faltar o Google Calendar para completar um pacote sério de aplicações que atacam o modelo actual de Desktop. Na verdade, não atacam… apenas antecipam o futuro.Para perceberem melhor, nada como a explicação dos próprios:P.S.: E eu… também gostava do Chrome para Mac!
Recent, compania Google a introdus o noua optiune: Offline Gmail.Majoritatea celor care se folosesc de Internet au cel putin un e-mail. In zilele nostre, Internet-ul se raspindeste foarte repede, si iti poti controla posta electronica aproape oriunde, dar cu toate acestea exista situatii cind ai nevoie urgent sa vezi niste mesaje si nu ai conectiune la Internet. Pentru asa cazuri, pe 27 Ianuarie 2009, compania Google a introdus o noua optiune “de laboratoriu”, care se numeste Offline Gmail. Aceasta optiune, daca este activata, GMail foloseste Google Gears pentru a sava toata informatia de care ai nevoie pe calculator. Cind vei accesa adresa GMail.com, daca nu esti conectat la Internet, se vor deschide pagini de pe calculatorul tau local. Aceasta optiune va fi diponibila numai celor care folosesk GMail US si UK English, si daca inca nu este disponibila in sectiunea Labs, inseamna ca inca nu ajuns si la aceasta adresa, dar va ajunge in curind. Pe adresa mea, PaulSanduleac@gmail.com, aceasta optiune inca nu a fost activata.
Esta funcionalidade irá fazer o download de suas mensagens para o seu computador. Certifique-se que não é um computador público ou compartilhado.Você precisará de Gears para acesso offline, o instalador irá reiniciar o navegador.

Until today, one of the biggest drawbacks of Gmail is that you could not go through your emails when you were offline. Today, that changes. Gmail is finally going offline. Google is rolling out a Google Gears version of Gmail that will be available to users starting today in Gmail Labs. (If you don’t see it, keep checking, the rollout to all users should be complete by the end of the week). After installing the Google Gears plug-in to your browser, Gmail detects when you are offline. It caches your e-mail so that you can read it, respond to it, search it, star it, or label it. When you are connected to the Internet again, it sends all the messages. You can even open attachments. This is exactly the way Gmail already works on mobile phones such as the Android and those that support Gears. In fact, according to Gmail product manager Todd Jackson, who briefed me earlier today: The underlying sync engine is exactly the same for Android and offline Gmail.Some features, however, won’t work. Anything that requires an Internet connection, such as spellcheck, won’t work offline. And while you can open attachments, you won’t be able to add attachments at launch (that feature will be added soon, however).Google Gears is a key part of the company’s Web app strategy. An Gears version of Google Docs was introduced in March, 2008. And an offline version of Google Calendar will soon be offered to enterprise customers. Jackson explains:Our long term vision is that the browser is the ideal platform for deploying all types of applications. We think the most powerful applications should run inside the browser. Historically it has been constrained by the connection.Throw off those chains, Gmail users.Crunch Network: CrunchBoard because it’s time for you to find a new Job2.0
