if you set the mail to "auto check mail every -- min" this DOES indeed autocheck while its sleeping.

how to test this; if you have no NEW mail in the mailbox, let the touch go to "sleep" mode. (while in a wi-fi area) .. send yourself an email from a computer. and awhile later turn on your ipod. and you will see the second you turned your ipod on there shows new mail in your box, its in there faster than it could possibly check for new mail when you turned it on.

turn the mail option to "manually" check to save battery life!

Makes sense -- the original Mail application was designed for the iPhone which basically has 24x7 connection via EDGE. Makes sense to manually check most of the time...
