Enabling it is fairly quick, simply click on the “Offline” link and enable access to Google gears.  If you don’t have it installed you can do so here.  That’s it!  Once synchronized clicking on the link icon reveals a small menu:

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.

gmail_gears

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.
