Email during suspend

---

My email does not sync (imap, internet email account) when the device suspends (screen goes blank). Is there anyway to set it to do that? I'd like to be able to put it on suspend in order to conserve battery power. I have found the usual programs to auto lock when the screen is dimmed so that I can still get email, but I'd like it to update email during suspend and wake up and alert me if an email is received.

I guess basically what I am looking for is the same functionality as the "wake on receive SMS" option in the advanced options that come with this rom. Otherwise suspending is pointless for me. If the thing is suspended in my pocket and does not alert me when I have a new email, what is the point?

Wish there was a way to turn of the screen without suspending it. That would work too. so far I have not seen that.

huh, maybe this is a problem in Jun 7 Energy Cookie ROM. I switched to June 12 Energy MaxSense UI and it works, most of the time.
