Re: [iPad] Re: iPad & GMail

 

Perhaps no one answered because no one has tried what you are asking.  Why don't you try it and let us know how it works? You will need to set up your gmail account to be received on the iPad.  Once the mail is downloaded, you can turn the wifi off. As for being able to answer the emails and then turn wifi back on to send those answers, please try it and let us know. I would imagine that the iPad will save your messages in your sent box and deliver them as soon as a signal is received, but I really don't know.
 
Thank You,

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?
