Mail, indeed, does need to be open for Power Nap to check for new messages while your Mac is asleep. For more information on the functionality provided by Power Nap, please see the article linked below.
- Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Photo Stream, Find My Mac, and iCloud documents are checked every hour. To receive updates during Power Nap, Mail and Notes must be open before your Mac sleeps.
