that shouldn't be the case - what email client are you using? Evolution
supports this (with the networkmanager USE flag*) but it goes offline
when all your interfaces are down, not just "in use" like heavy
downloading.
* actually the USE flag (networkmanager instead of dbus) and the
comments on it suggest that it talks directly to NetworkManager and not
via dbus, but I don't actually know.
