I believe the problem is actually worse than this.  Not only does it "look 
like" it's trying to download when it's not connected, but after the network 
comes back up, it still looks like it's downloading - but _nothing_ ever 
arrives.  This happens to me every time I forget to close kontact when I 
hibernate my system.  When I start up again, the network connects, I see 
messages saying kMail is checking accounts, but I never get any new messages.  
Shut down kontact, start up again, and there'll be dozens of messages in my 
inbox.
