GeeMail

Built on the Adobe Air platform, GeeMail is an intuitive application designed to let you easily access your Gmail account without actually using the web browser. It does not require configuration, which makes it suitable for all types of users, even those less experienced with such software.

The installation procedure does not take a long time to finish, provided that you have previously set up Adobe Air on the PC. As far as the interface goes, the tool opts for a regular window with a familiar layout that allows you to seamlessly log into your Gmail account by specifying the user name and password.

Same email actions but in a streamlined environment

It is possible to explore the inbox, sent box, spam, starred and other Gmail folders, make a special selection (all, none, unread, starred, unstarred), assign labels to messages, use a search function to locate a particular email, as well as to change the UI lagnuage.

An important aspect worth mentioning is that GeeMail offers offline support, which means that you can, for example, compose a new message, click the "Send" button, and exit the tool. It will automatically send the mail as soon as it detects a valid Internet connection.

The app used low CPU and RAM during our testing, so it shouldn't put a strain on modern systems. What's more, it is cross-platform, offering support for Mac and Linux as well. However, it failed in several attempts to log into our Gmail account. We must also take into account that it has not been recently updated. Perhaps you should stick with the web browser for checking your Gmail account, since it seems to be more reliable.
