I’m all for the functionality of gmail on a slow connection, but I’m afraid Gears will compel me to answer emails on long flights, which are usually blessedly communication-free!

Gears is definitely one of the most impressive technologies from Google in recent years. Shame that more web apps haven’t integrated it, although Wordpress and Gmail are the big two for LIP’s.

I absolutely LOVE Google Gears.

@John I don’t think it stores 100% of your docs and emails at any given time, though I don’t know the rational behind which are stored. You may be able to adjust the settings, though I haven’t looked into doing that yet.

It doesn’t use much room on your computer (which leads me to believe they compress the information in some wiley and brilliant way) and has worked really well for me in the past (especially on those long plane flights when you need one teensy little detail from an email for what you’re working on).
