I'm developing an application that automatically check mail every 10 minutes (like Gmail). I've used background checkMailThread, it executes every 10 minutes. I don't know how Thread.sleep() will effect the CPU and does this Thread drains my battery?

instead of sleep use timertask.

Timer timer = new Timer();
			TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask(){

				public void run() {
					// check email
					
				}
				
			};
			timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(timerTask, 1000, 10*60*1000);

TimerTask drains less battery and CPU, is it true?

What is your planned use? RIM does this automatically now.
