Using Gmail Offline:

- When you're back online, your offline emails will be synced with your online account.
Tips and Limitations:
- Gmail Offline only works with the Gmail app, not with the web version of Gmail.
- You can only access emails that are stored on your device, not emails that are stored on the server.
- You can't send emails while offline, but you can compose them and they'll be sent when you go online.
- You can't use Gmail Offline on public computers or shared devices, as it requires a login and password.
- If you have a large number of emails, you may need to delete some to free up storage space for offline use.
Troubleshooting:
- If you're having trouble accessing Gmail Offline, try restarting the app or checking your internet connection.
- If you're experiencing issues with syncing your offline emails, try deleting the app's cache and data or reinstalling the app.
