Abstract
Arrangements for employing a system BIOS (basic input/output system) to handle email during a suspended state (such as an 'S3' state as will be better understood herebelow). Preferably, the BIOS is employed to 'jump' between two suspended images such that, e.g., two more powerful OS's can be employed to manage the mail function.
