IMAP’s flexibility can be extended by making it available offline.  For sending an email you will require internet but atleast you can read your old mails.

Configure IMAP Email for Offline Usage

  • Go to ‘Tools>Account Settings’ and go to the desired IMAP account.
  • Select the ‘Offline & Disk Space’ category and click on ‘Select folders for offline use…’
