Google Gears is an open source project that allows web application to be more powerful. Using Gears you can access your Gmail offline, when there is no internet connection.
Here is how you do it,
Install Google Gears from http://gears.google.com
Restart your Internet Browser and log-in to your Gmail.
Click Settings in the upper right and navigate to Labs tab.
Select Enable and press Save Changes
Now, you will see Offline in the upper right, click on it to install Offline access for Gmail.
Sync is pretty fast from my personal experience, there is also a Progress bar which indicates how many messages have been archived for Offline access.
Now you can Search your Gmail and compose mail even when you have no Internet connectivity.
Thunderbird is also another tool that let you access your email offline.
