Sleep Mode

[Terry]

I was wondering if and when Vista is put in sleep mode, does it continue to
accept updates as is explained on the Microsoft website? If this is true,
then will email also download from the server if the Windows Mail program is
left on and maximized and the DSL modem is left on? Because the modem runs
hot I usually turn it off at night, along with the computer, but I'm having
problems with the server, who returns email to senders because the server
only allows a small amount of bandwidth to collect in each user's webmail
box.

Only events that are configured to wake the computer from sleep will run
while the system is asleep. Windows Updates is so configured, Windows Mail
is not.
