Mail when in Sleep/Lock?

Trying to determine what activity continues when the iPhone is in sleep (or locked) mode.
From experience and the manual, I understand it will receive calls, messages and sound calendar and alarm alerts, play music. Maybe there is more.
However, I'm not sure what Mail activity should occur when in Sleep?
Sometimes it appears as though it has received Mail while in Sleep. But more often it will present mail that is "out of date" until it connects after waking up.
Would someone explain or send link with info on "activity when in sleep."
Thanks in advance.
System: iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2.1

"Sleep" means on, but idle. You will still receive calls, e-mail and text when the phone is in "sleep" state. Sleep means you are not using it, and the screen is dark. If you want, you can turn it off. Then it will not do any of the things above and phone calls will go directly to voicemail. I would venture to say most folks do not power off their phone at night. But they plug it in to a charger (which turns the phone back on, if it is off).

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do I lock my mail when i have finished viewing so others can't access my mail

    How do I lock my mail  when I have finished viewing it so others using my ipad2 cant access it

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device and there isno direct way of locking/hiding the Mail app, though there is this work-around https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632
    I don't know whether any of the third-party email apps have password protection within them, and you could also just use a browser (you can create homescreen shortcuts in Safari, so you could have a shortcut to your email account log-in screen).

  • I carnt hear my message tone,the sounds it makes when the phone locks and opens.Also i am unable to hear my music playing from my phone but my alarm and ringtone are working.Can anyone help

    i carnt hear my message tone,the sound it makes when the phone locks and opens,also i am unable to hear music when playing from my phone but my ringtone and alarm tone work.Ive made sure the silent button is not on,and the volume button on the side of the phone is just showing it blank instead of it going up and down.To try and fix this i have reset my settings and restored my phone,but now its just skipping the music i have purchased from itunes when in a docking station which is now another problem i have as well.Can anyone help????

    Hello dbrookes,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like even though the Mute switch is not on, sounds are not making the, well, sound they should, and the volume buttons make a blank volume indicator appear on the screen that does not show the volume level.
    I wanted to recommend a couple of things.
    First, I would reset the phone:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, then you may want to try backing up to iTunes, and restoring the iPhone again but this time do not restore the backup and set it up as new to see if the issue persists without the previous configuration.
    Just incase you need it, this article will help with that:

  • Looking for an App that forces iPhone into sleep/lock mode

    I don't need anything fancy.  Searching the app store has proved fruitless.
    I don't need any password protection.  I dropped my phone and it broke the sleep/lock button.
    I just wanna lock my phone so I can throw it into my purse without pressing buttons and using power.
    As it is now I've set the auto lock to 1min and stand around waiting til it shuts off, however this is frustrating because when I'm using it its usually on for hours at a time and 1min of idle shuts it down so I have to go into settings and set autolock to never... and then go back and set it to 1m to shut it down.
    If anyone can name an app to lock/sleep my phone I'd be grateful.  If you don't know of an app... perhaps you could write one and sell it on app store.
    Dayna.
    ps.  if you write one please send me the name.  I'm probably not the only one with a dropped phone!
    pps.  Reset, Restore, Restore as new have all failed.

    As already provided, Apple does not make the necessary API's available to developers to do what you want. Only Apple could implement such.

  • Has anyone else noticed an issue with the new mail icon on the lock screen?

    After updating to iOS 8 there is a new mail icon on the lock screen. When I slide it up I get this message:
    "Failed to continue activity- the connection to your other device may have been interrupted- Please try again"
    After trying again and again I get the same message and I do not have the "other device" that it mentions. I'm not sure what is going on, does anyone have any ideas?

    Nope, have not seen this issue or have this issue myself.  Try going into Settings and toggling off that email account, toggle back on and then send a test email to yourself.  If it still persists, delete the email account and re-add and try again.

  • Network disconnect when in sleep mode

    Hi all.
    Since I've installed Mountain Lion, any time the computer goes into sleep mode, networking do the same: I cannot download files, when the computer wakeup I have to wait the reconnection before being able to use mail, safari or ather network stuff.
    I did not find any option to set, telling the computer waht to do when in sleep mode.
    WIth Lion and preceding OsX this was not an issue.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks.
    Federico.

    Hi,
    Yes, clear "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the properties of network adapter\Power management as mentioned in the link provided by arnavsharma, and check if the issue persists.

    Hey SurgeCentral,
    Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPhone?
    Try syncing and backing up the data on the iPhone, then restore it and set it up as a new phone.

  • QOSMIO x870 shutting down when in sleep mode

    I'm not sure if this is working as intended or not.
    I was working with the ECO setting to put my computer to sleep after certain amount of time. Once it was asleep for a certain amount of time, it would go into a shutdown/hibernation mode. It turns back on in the state that it was in when it went to sleep.
    Also, if I have a program running and lock the computer, it will act like this as well when there is sleep time set.
    I thought that I would be able to lock my computer and run a download over-night, but when I went to my computer in the morning, my computer was shutdown/hibernating. It came back up to where it was, but it appears that it hadn't continued the download for much over an hour before shutting down.
    I don't think that this is intended, but I may be wrong.
    I'm still digging around trying to find settings in regards to this. But I have hibernate turned completely off.
    Is there some way to set the computer so that it won't shutdown/hibernate when in sleep mode and/or a locked screen?
    In the meantime, I'm trying setting the ECO settings to "Sleep :: Never" to try to accomplish my download without the computer shutting down/hibernating during the process. 

    Thanks tjk.
    Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.

  • Is anyone else aving an issue with the "TTY" phone feature with the new ioS 7? Mine will not work in "sleep/lock" mode

    Is anyone having trouble with the "TTY" phone answering feature with the new ios 7 when your phone is in "sleep/lock" mode"? I only have an issue when it is in the "sleep/lock" mode

    I am sorry..."TTY" in "Phone Settings" being "on" or "off" has nothing to do with this feature but the issue still remains that it only works when the phone is NOT in "sleep/lock" mode

  • Iphone 5 won't fetch mail when away from wi-fi

    My iphone 5 won't fetch mail when I am not on wi-fi.  I can't find the setting to make this happen!  I have my wi-fi always on to save my data, but when I'm away from a wi-fi signal, I need to get my mail.  I try to fetch manually and I get a message: no wi-fi signal.

    Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart.
    Press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
