See Will's mail. In general what you see and want is a legacy behavior and 
expectation (IMAP download is stopped when KMail is not running).
 These days there could be other clients, not just KMail. KMail is just 
*one* client. You could have a mail notifier plasma applet, you can have 
lionmail, etc. And if you use a Kolab server it even makes more sense to NOT 
shut down IMAP mail checking when KMail is not running, to get notifications 
about calendar updates, shared to-do lists and so.
 Neverthless I understand that some still use IMAP for mail only and want to 
have mail checks only when KMail is running, so that's why you have the 
option.
