You can use gmail (mobile app) to send mail offline. It will queue the mail and send when you get back online.

The web version doesn't seem to allow this, but if gmail was already loaded on your browser before you went offline, you can type mail, read your most recent mails, etc. But "send" works only when you are online.

You can also use any other offline mail client with gmail: read/retrieve with imap, send with smtp.

I'm not sure how a web forum is better than this when you are offline.

(Disclosure: I work on Gmail, my teammates worked on this)

There is a "Offline Mode" setting which will allow you to bookmark, then use gmail offline, including sending messages (which go into an outbox until they are sent)
