Enable Gmail Offline Mode
First of all, the offline mode is available in the latest version of Gmail and it works on the Google Chrome browser only. So, if you are not using the new Gmail, you need to first switch to it. Once you have done that, enabling the new Gmail Offline Mode is quite easy. Follow the steps mentioned below:
First, click on the settings GEAR icon at the top right.
Then click on “See all settings”.
2. Here, you will see a new Offline section. Click on it.
3. Now, the “Enable Offline Mail” option will appear, enable it by clicking the checkbox.
4. As soon as you click the checkbox you will be asked for a few more options. 5. First is the “Sync settings” which asks you to select the number of days for which you want to save your emails offline. You get three options- 7, 30, and 90 days.
6. If you don’t have a storage problem on your laptop, keep the duration to 90 days and also keep the “Download attachment” option below turned on by ticking the box.
- Lastly, you will be asked to “Keep offline data on my computer” or “Remove offline data from my computer”. If you select the second option, every time you login Google will have to re-sync all your emails. So, you should choose the first option as it will save both data and time.
- Once you have set all the preferences, click on the “Save Changes” button to enable the new Gmail offline mode.
