Can iMessages still be received with laptop off?

I've got iMessage on my MacBook, however I do not have an iPhone. I was wondering if I'm still capable of receiving iMessages from contacts to my laptop while it's been put to sleep or turned off. Or am I only able to get incoming messages while the laptop is fully on?

I think they will be d/l when you next turn your laptop on so you will get them then.
If they are in the instant message format then the sender will see your off line and you will get them at the next available log on

  • Will I still receive missed imessages when I leave a Wi-Fi area? My iphone 4s currently has no service as in the phone is shut off. However, I still can send iMessages. My question is if I iMesssage someone and I leave the Wi-Fi area will I receive their response message when I find another Wi-Fi area or will I just never receive it?
  • Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
  • What should I do if I never received an item off ebay? My friend tried to buy an iphone off ebay, and paid but never received his phone. He emailed the seller who said they were out of stock and he would be refunded his money on his pay-pal account. He was never refunded his money. What should he do?
  • Is it possible to check what iMessages have been sent and received even after being deleted? I cleaned out all the iMessages in my iPhone and I don't back up my messages to anything (such as iCloud). I know it is possible to check text messages through your carrier's server. But is there a simpler way to check your deleted iMessages? I know this is was worded in a confusing way.
