GMail Offline in Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04
Posted by Adi | Filed under English, Planet Ubuntu
Since offline storage for web browsers is still not standard across major web browser it looks like the only way to use GMail offline on latest Ubuntu version (10.04, 10.10 and 11.04) is to install Google Gears extension for Firefox and install Firefox 3.6.
Here is a short how-to:
* Download Firefox 3.6
* Extract the Firefox archive in ~/.local/firefox
* On Lucid install the xul-ext-gears package from the official repository
* On Maverick and Natty download and install the Google Gears Extension for Firefox from the Lucid official repository (this is the Lucid package but will also work on Natty)
* Start Firefox from ~/.local/firefox/firefox and you should see the Google Gears extension.
* Done
