I think we are missing the point of Google Gears and Gmail. Google really wants people to stop using stuff offline and get everyone online. Examples are Google Docs which want people to shift from Office Apps!!
I love Gmail but I like to use my iPhone for a lot of my email, POP is an option but I’ve had too many bad experiences with it. IMAP would be a much better choice then creating a Firefox plugin to do something that current technologies can already do, but I guess if they do that then they can’t monetize it with advertising. I wish Google would just enable IMAP and make many more people happy.

Gmail going offline is a good news. this will definately make a person shift from mail clients liek outlook, and OE, to the original stuff.

Microsoft Outlook is typically used in enterprises.In my company, i can access my inbox from home(thro. https).
What about a feature like pst that helps us to save mails on our desktop.Is there anything similar being introduced in this offline version?

I don’t think this is worth the hype. I have Thunderbird and MS Outlook installed, but I still prefer to check my mail on Gmail.com
