Maybe it was a dumb question, but an answer would have been
reassuring. Fortunately I checked into our hotel in Rome and found
that the wifi cost was 5€ for three hours so I used the Gmail app and
used online time answering mails. However it would be nice to know if
I could use the iPad Mail app offline without downloading a GB or so
of archived mail via the IMAP interface.
Can anyone advise me?
