    Is there a way to access a link in an email (on mobile) that goes to a website, even if internet is not available? For instance, I am in the train and when I had a signal, I received all the emails and I can then read them offline. Now one of the emails got a link to read related information on a website. So on clicking on that link, it re-directs me to the site but i am not in a network range and the page says "This webpage is not available". So I think there is no solution to it. Do you think there is any way we can make it to work. So that I can atleast read that text. Yes, ofcourse if I try to navigate through the site then i get an error "This webpage is not available". Thanks

      No - unless the page content is included in the email body, there is no email system I know of that will "follow" links and automatically download the page content - and if there was I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot cattle prod! Think about it: most email systems don't even retrieve external images to avoid scammers tracking "working" email accounts. Your system would access the whole damn page for them! :omg:

        Somehow is caching possible. I know that in the earlier days I could surf "offline" so the Firefox looked in its cache. I did a Q&D search and found Work Offline addon.

          I don't know if you can cache a web site on a mobile phone. But if you could, that would of course only work if you had already visited the page before... No, I have to second Griff and say: Not possible! Right now, that is. By September, it could be: Clickety[^]

            When you say "Internet", do you mean a wifi connection? If so, you have to open a data connection, through your telecom-service provider.

              I've never used it but you could try pocket for android (given that's the flavor of your phone). That should be helpful for what you want... :thumbsup:

                In principal, of course it is. Just a case of parsing email text for URLs then caching the page at that URL I'm not aware of any email app that does this - there's probably a market for one, though (probably could be written as an add-in to existing mail apps) Write up an article when' you're done, eh?
