You can still use fetchmail to get the mail even if you _do_
want to leave it
on the IMAP server (can't remember the switch offhand).
Although what
the original poster _might_ have meant by disconnected mode is
that the
client only connects to the IMAP server when it wants to do
something
(send/check mail), and is disconnected otherwise. Maybe
some clients
keep the IMAP session up all the time?
