This tips actually works for almost all Android smartphone versions from 2.0 or above.
Basically, Android smartphone by default is set on Internet online dependency. That means, only new emails will be shown by connecting all the time. This is how you can copy the email locally and get them sync later on if you need to go to an area without data connection.
Open you GMAIL App, press menu, open the menu extension by selecting the arrow down with a circle icon. An extended menu will appear, select Settings, a choice of General Preferences and email accounts will appear. Select the intended email account, another level of menu will appear. Right in the middle, there is a selection of Sync Inboxes and Labels, choose it by touching it.
Another level of menu will appear and under the first category of menu: Quantity, there will be only 1 selection: "Amount of email to sync". By selecting this, you will open a counter. Adjust the number of days that you feel required to be saved on local memory, for example: 7 days or 30 days, etc. Then press back button once you have set it. It will save your selection and GMAIL app will start syncing with your Gmail server to download your emails locally to your phone in accordance to the number of days you want the emails to be saved in your phone. This might take some times to download depending on the connectivity and how many days of email to be synchronized.
Please note, if you have an Android smartphone with low memory capacity, it is better to only sync max 7 days.
Enjoy the tip. Strangely enough, I gave this tip to a store manager who has been selling a lot of Samsung Galaxy Note and using one himself, apparently not many people know about this settings.

What if you don't use Gmail? I can't find the Sync menu anywhere.
