Gmail Offline: A Guided Tour

udins — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 12:48:59 +0000

In short, people familiar with Gmail already are mostly familiar with its offline incarnation, which Google said it’s releasing gradually to its users in coming days. The biggest difference is of course that you can’t see new messages, and e-mails that you send are merely queued up until they can be delivered when a network connection is re-established.

Gmail uses Google’s Gears technology, which among other things lets browsers store data on a computer in what’s called a local cache. I’m using Firefox 3.1 beta 2, with which Gears isn’t compatible, so to access Gmail offline I used Google Chrome instead, which has Gears built in. Since Gears is a relative rarity, though, most folks will have to install it first, which Google walks you through.

There are some limitations to offline Gmail: Only about 10,000 messages will be downloaded–the newest and most recently used. You can’t use the contacts tab to manage your connections, though e-mail address autocomplete works so you won’t need to worry about remembering e-mail addresses. You can’t include attachments on new messages. It’s only available in Gmail for English speakers.

New mom Nicole Kidman gets flowers from ex Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise sent his ex-wife and new mommy Nicole Kidman a “room full of flowers.”

Kidman and husband Keith Urban welcomed their first child, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban on July 7.

“She has had hundreds of bouquets of flowers from well-wishers,” ” a source told the UK’s Daily Mirror, noting that “Tom was one of the first people to get in touch and he sent her enough flowers to fill a room.”

Australia’s Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, also sent the glowing new mother a hand-written note.

Cruise and Kidman split in 2000 – just before their 10th wedding anniversary. “Nicole knows why,” Cruise told the press soon after the couple’s seemingly abrupt split. “I still love him,” Kidman said in a June 2006 interview with Ladies Home Journal.
