Since upgraded to 4.0 OSX my Google Gears is not compatible. I need offline Gmail and that has gone bye bye. Is there any fix forthcoming so I can have offline access to my email and calendar?

Sorry, Google has stopped development of the Gears plug-in, and will not update it to support newer browsers like Firefox 4. They have announced plans to eventually migrate their sites from Gears to web standards like HTML5, but they haven't completed that work yet:

If you want offline access to your Gmail account, without using an older browser just for Gears support, you could try using an IMAP mail reader like Mozilla Thunderbird:
