Gmail Mobile gets an outbox

One of the great things about mobile Gmail is the ability to compose a message when you don't have an internet connection, and send it when you're online again. in between writing and sending, though, these messages have always been in limbo. Google has changed that, though, by adding an outbox tag, so you can view what Google calls, "those 'sent, but not actually sent' emails."

Outbox will appear in your list of mailboxes when you have sent messages in your queue, and disappear again when you don't. The major limitation of Outbox is that you can read only the subject, not the body, of the sent message. It's still a useful addition to the Gmail mobile experience, though, because being able to confirm that you've sent a message is more than you could do before.
