Gmail 201: Intermediate Studies #8 - Offline Gmail with Google Gears Hi, this is Mike Callahan “Doctor File Finder” and welcome to part 8 of our special ButterScotch.com 10 part series on Gmail 201 intermediate studies. Now on this segment I’m going to talk about Google Gears and Gears is a cool open source project that allows your web applications to interact with the web more naturally and to have some of your content off line. So, I’m going to the Gears page. I have a link to this in the show notes, we’ll say installer Gears. First, we have to agree to the license agreement, say agree and download. We’re going to save the file. Now, when the file is done and downloading, we just double click on it to install it and run this file. Now, Gears is going to install, that’s going in, it’s initializing; now we’re ask to restart our web browser. So and I see here Gears is installed and go back to my Gmail and you’ll see up here I have offline, click on that, offline mail for my accounts, access most of my mail offline and it will download my email message and to this computer so I’ll say next, I trust this site, allow it to use Google Gears have to put one of my desktop, say okay and then that concludes it. So then you have access to your Gmail even when you’re offline and periodically it will update to download your latest messages so you have the money on your computer. So that’s Gears and that concludes part 8.
