Although it’s been rumored, Google finally has released an offline version of Gmail through Google Gears.  If you don’t have it installed yet, you can download Google Gears here.

To enable this feature first click on the Labs icon and enable Offline mode:

gmail_offline

Afterwards, click on the “Offline 0.1″ link in the top right hand corner next to the labs icon and allow Gmail to install the Offline option.

E-mails will begin to be downloaded after the installation.  You can then expand the download box for more information:

google_gears_expanded

If you don’t have this feature yet, please keep in mind that Google typically rolls these features out over the course of several days.
