Gmail Team has rolled out an update for its Gmail Web App for Chrome which fully functions its HTML 5 offline main storage. The latest update allows users to set it to store 7, 14 or 31 days of past email offline. Email work done offline – on an airplane, for example – is synced next time you connect. Furthermore this update stores attachments for offline use, enables Gmail keyboard shortcuts offline, improves performance and fixes bugs. The Gmail offline app is available in the Chrome Web Store.
