Get backup of Gmail contacts and attachments on your computer

Posted: 25 Jan 2010 04:32 AM PST

Personally I use Gmail’s Offline feature for being able to compose or access certain emails in case I my internet connection is acting up or if its not stable. But I like this new add-on software called Mailbrowser and I liked the easy way I could access contacts and attachment files at one side.

The good thing you will love about Mailbrowser is that it is not a web application and hence your personal Gmail details are not really stored online or on a 3rd party server. They are saved on your hard-disk itself.

About MailBrowser

MailBrowser works with Internet Explorer or Firefox. It saves all attachments and your contact list on to your computer.
I did not have to log into Gmail to access my contact list or attachment files.
A simple couple of clicks enabled me to send an email to someone in my contact list or even access the mail in which the attachment was received.
It works with the browser and I tested it with Firefox. The tab neatly sits to the right hand side of the browser.

I was initially apprehensive about why you might need this extra bit of software to save your Gmail contacts and attachments on your computer when I already had Gmail offline on my computer. MailBrowser would actually be quite useful as you can sort of use it like a mail client. You can free up space on Gmail and delete old attachments. It is not a standalone software so it cannot be compared to mail clients like Outlook but its compatibility with browser does make it worthwhile to try out.
