Depends on who you are and what you do.
Offline access is very important top me as my emails contain data for
work and home, and many of the auxiliaries I am involved
in. Important information.
I do have email on my phone (no more smartphone) but when I do a
local download at home, poof there goes those email messages, plus
the attachments and such are not available. (I get important
documents that way, plus info)
I do know about modern cell coverage (did you not read pour recent
discussion of Verizon vs, ATT) but unless youa re willing to spend
another $60.00 over and above what you already spend on your personal
cell plan (family of 5-5 lines (to include my mother) with full
coverage, I cant afford that. No one else pays my cell bills but
me. I don't get reimbursed by my employer for all my personal
expenses even if they are spent doing work.
So a home connection paid by me, and a work connection paid by them
is all I get.
Maybe one of these days when I become personally wealthy I will look
into it. But not till then.

I think you're misunderstanding the concept. If you're the type of
person that needs to read email when offline, then simply enable local
saving. Nobody's forcing you to keep a single copy online.
But have you seen modern cell coverage maps of the country? What part
are you in that you can't get your email anywhere you need it? Offline
access just isn't a factor any longer.
