Sorry for the offtopic, but as I know, many of you (as well as myself, of course) currently use Gmail as their main email account. Is Gmail the most popular email platform among scientists? May very well be, support of conversations is too attractive

Login to your Gmail account, click the “Labs” tab and enable “Offline Gmail”. If you have Google Gears support installed, your inbox will be accessible offline. Here is a little video that shows the functionality that you will acquire:

Wow, I completely misunderstood that the Gears were supposed to work offline and cache things. Very interesting. I supposed that they were just some ordinary online widgets, perhaps with some unusual design.
Cheers,
Dmitry.
