Offline Gmail extension for Google Chrome doesn't work offline

3

1

I downloaded the Google Chrome application called "Offline Google Mail" by Google. I used it a few times (online), it works fine, syncs, whatever.

Yesterday I was on the bus and decided to give a try to Offline GMail in the real world. Except all I got was something like "Web application is not reachable". If I read this correctly, it's complaining that I am offline.

Do I have to be online for Offline to work? What is the point of Offline Gmail then?

Doesn't appear to be automaticly ready to work offline. Did you follow these instructions?

This link is for Google Gears, which is being discontinued - I am talking about the new version (they mention it on top of that page "support for offline in gmail is changing") – nute – 2011-11-30T09:39:55.037

I've had that problem in the past. It is working for me now.

Install offline gmail at the Chrome Web Store (sounds like you've done that)

Use it from this url: https://mail.google.com/mail/mu/mp/601/?mui=ca#tl/Inbox or by opening a new tab in Chrome, finding offline gmail, and clicking it.
