Use Gmail offline

If you aren’t connected to a mobile data or Wi-Fi network (for example, if you're in Airplane mode), you can use Gmail to read or reread the messages currently synced to your phone (see “Synchronizing your conversations by label” on page 156) and to compose messages.

Messages that you send are stored on your phone with the Outbox label, until your connection is restored, when they are sent automatically. You can view the messages stored with the Outbox label; see “Viewing conversations by label” on page 155.
