Gmail is the most popular mailing service.  As of last year, more than 1.8 billion people were using Gmail, and Google's email service owns 18 percent of the email client market share.  What's more, about 75 percent of people open their Gmail on their mobile devices.  With that in mind, Google has now introduced the ability to take Gmail offline.

According to California-based tech giant Mountain View, users will now be able to read, respond to and find their Gmail messages even when they are not connected to the Internet.  This comes from Google as a progressive feature, and will work very well in places with low connectivity or without internet, especially in remote areas.  Gmail is also easy to turn offline, and users can do so in a few simple steps.  Here's how to use ...

 Go to -mail.google.com.  Google says Gmail Offline will only work on Google Chrome and will only work when you are browsing in normal mode.

 Once you arrive in your inbox, click the Settings or Cogwheel button.

 Click "View All Settings".

 Once you come to the page, then click on the "Offline" tab.

 Click on the "Enable Offline Mail" checkbox.  The moment you click the checkbox, Gmail will show new settings.

You can choose how many days of email you want to sync with Gmail.

Google shows you how much space is left on your computer, and also gives you the option to keep data offline on your computer or remove all offline data from your computer.

 -Once you choose to keep or remove data offline, you can click "Save Changes" and offline Gmail will be activated on your computer.

Google recommends bookmarking Gmail for easy offline access.  If you're using Gmail with your Work of School account, you need to ask the administrator to enable offline settings.  This feature has been rolled out to all Gmail users, and you can now turn off offline mailing by following the steps outlined above.
