Zoho mail is yet another email service and software provider. And it is currently passing the beta stages of its newest version, making it the perfect suite for all people who need to check their emails while on the go.
One of the major changes seen has something to do with the suite’s functionality. Now, users will be able to access their message offline. The new version also proves to work in with the iPhone. Beta test versions are still available to the public for them to try and install in their respective devices.
The offline access is actually helpful if you merely want to refer to your email. Before Zoho’s innovation you can never access your emails without connecting to a network. Using Google’s Gears technology, users can write and read emails even if there’s no network available.
When you open the software, it would automatically detect your network and switches to offline mode the moment it fails to connect to any. While offline, you can continue doing what you normally do. All the emails that you composed can be sent the moment you connect to a network.
However, you can’t really reply to the messages directly as an error message about not being a part of a network would pop out. What you do instead is you compose your emails and then save it on the drafts folder. When you know that you’re online, you go back to the drafts folder and send the composed messages stored in there accordingly.
It would be nicer though if you can directly reply on the messages you received while offline and not compose a new one. They should also be sent automatically whenever your device detects a wireless network. However, these things may mean further tweaks on the existing Zoho software. Until then, let’s just enjoy what’s available to us.
