Mail in 10.4.4

I recently installed OSX 10.4.4. Prior to that installation, the Mail application would continue to fetch my mail at the interval specified in Preferences even whne my Mac was in Sleep mode. Now, mail is not collected when the mac is in sleep mode. Has anyone else noticed this?

Mail.app cannot retrieve mail while your system is in sleep mode, since the hard drive is not spinning and Mail would not be able to write anything to the drive. More than likely, your display was sleeping, but your computer was not asleep if Mail was still fetching new mail.

If you'd like to keep Mail fetching mail while you're away, simply set your computer to never sleep, while setting the display to sleep after a specified amount of time.
 
Makes sense. Bu I don't believe I have changed any Energy Saver settings recently and certainly not since installing 10.4.4. Oh well, I set things up as you advised and hopefully things will be OK now.
