power option question

If I have my computer set to go on Standby after 20 minutes of non use, will
Outlook Express keep that from happening when it "searches" for new email
every 5 minutes? Do I need to change that setting in OE in order for
Standby to work? Thanks.

yes it will prevent it from happening because, technically, the pc isn't
going 20 minutes without use - every five minutes an application (outlook
express) is being activated.
