Not sure, I should test this, I do have a model that supports the Power Nap. From the list of things it does sound a bit like only software made by Apple is active using this feature, I’m not sure how they are opening up this functionality to other apps? Are they?

That does sound interesting, but like you say, needs to be testable somewhere. This is something that I would have hoped made it into the standards already, since there are all kinds of services popping up (like boomerang for gmail) that handle these situations. But resolving it server-side by the actual mail server sounds much more elegant than some in-between solution. Oh well.

Well, for some cases that could work. But for some emails I like to send them early in the morning so that it appears as one of the first new e-mails in the inbox when they open their email. However getting up early and doing that is less attractive. Or when working late and not wanting to send emails in the middle of the night, I’m not sure if that’s actually frowned upon, but in that case setting it to early morning and not having to deal with it would be great.

Well in my case the one instance is always online, so if I can just offload it to that, that’d be great actually. I’m thinking the same could somehow be accomplished with bundles and some apple scripting, or some fudging around with the calendar and invoking scripts. But probably you have a less hacky idea.
