Google Mail is a great mail service with a slight flaw that every web based email service has: You can´t add the mail to your offline email client. I don´t like this at all, it´s always nicer to have all recieved and send emails in an offline client for faster access. GmailXp is one of those freeware tools that offer you this. It has a long list of features, for instance a notification if a new mail arrived in your inbox. Lets take a look at some of the features in detail:
Messages All actions that Gmail provides will be available. Archiving, Trashing, Labeling, ‘Deleting Forever,’ Marking read & unread, and starring. The full message bodies will be viewable inside the program.
Filters Users will be able to manage their filters, (Create new, Edit, Delete). Gmail allows for 20 filters, some have said a few more. GmailerXP will give the user two options- either use the filters on Gmail and then when they run out, start making filters locally, Option 2- do away with their online filters completely, and use the local ones only which will intercept all incoming mail and label it and move it accordingly. Local filters may have a few more options than the standard Gmail ones.
Contacts The user will be able to manage contacts, and do all operations already provided by Gmail (Adding, Editing, Deleting) as well as import contacts from a number of different formats. The user will also be able to export (backup) their contacts to a number of different formats.
Multiple Accounts GmailerXP will support multiple accounts, (even though Gmail discourages such behavior ) The user will be able to switch between accounts whilst using the program.
Sending Messages The user will be able to compose and send new mail. The mail will be saved in their Gmail account under sent messages.
Downloading All Mail The user will be able to download a copy of every message from their Gmail account. It will be organized and labeled just as it is on the server. Your filters will still be in effect.
and more.

Ever heart of POP.Last time I checked Gmail supported it.
gmail supports pop3 thats all you need for an offline email client
upsa, it does ? must have missed that. But pop still does not mean you can use all the features offline, so, still a valid tool for some of us :P
Hi, I am a regular reader of your blog. And i love it so much.
I want to be your partner. Please !
GMail SUCKS at offline Pop3.
It does NOT download email messages selectively.
It does NOT allow bulk forwarding of messages.
If you have 500 messages in your GMail account
and you only want 50 based on an email filter or
label, you get your email based on the OLDEST
email in your system.
If you empty your inbox and put in your inbox
JUST the messages you’d like to download, you
STILL get your email beginning with the OLDEST
email in your account.
That kind of control and selectivity SUCKS from
an organization as big as Google which would like
to lay claim to the best, brightest of developers
and cutting edge apps.
Try forwarding 50 messages ONE AT A TIME and
see how you feel about GMail.
GmailerXP seems a little bit dead to me. How do you think? Do they still continue developing?
@Mike: what kind of crazy comment is that?
