Easy-Email

You can choose to download a copy of your emails so you can work offline as well. This means you will be able to read and respond to emails when you are on a plane or a train for instance. Once you get an internet connection again your emails will be sent.

You can choose which emails to have a local copy of on your computer by adjusting the Synchronization Settings.
