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?   - Chris
