That's a different thing. KMail has a disconnected imap account type which
basically downloads all mails to your local box and keeps this
synchronized with the server. So if you access your emails you don't have
to be online.

The offline mode simply suppresses network traffic.

See my other mail.

You can either build the imap kioslave with debug symbols and watch it's
output or you need a network sniffer like ethereal.
