If you are happy with everything about your GMail, you do not need this message.
Also, GMail Offline works best with the Chrome web browser. I've included a link below if you prefer using IE or Firefox. If you are stuck on Safari, you should probably skip this feature.
If you are using the Chrome web browser, you can Get Started Now.
You might want to use this service if you do not have broadband internet service at your home. GMail Offline will copy all of your email messages before you leave school and allow you to read and respond normally. When you return to school, as soon as your computer detects an internet connection, GMail Offline will synchronize your account by sending any messages you composed and downloading any new messages.
Another reason you might prefer GMail Offline is to avoid messages telling that there is no connection available. Sometimes you might see this message if there is a delay somewhere in our campus network, a delay with the Verizon connection, or simply a general internet delay somewhere in the world.
Some people prefer the simple interface of GMaill Offline compared to the full-service GMail. If you are comfortable checking email messages a few times a day and you don't like the constant notification of incoming messages, you might prefer GMail Offline for all your email use.
If you want to read more about GMail Offline, here is a good article from PC Magazine.
If you are interested in a workshop session to learn more about using GMail Offline, please send a message to Cyberhead and we will schedule it for you.
