Have you tried those settings under Options - Network & Administration:

[ ] Auto disconnect after mail transmission
[X] No Automatic dials for periodical checking
[X] Use an existing DUN connection

The 1st and 3rd checkboxes are self-explanatory. The 2nd means that TB!
wouldn't initiate a periodical mail check at given intervals when there
is no existing DUN connection.
