Yes? So? This is a completely different use case that needs a completely 
different solution. On a mobile you will probably never want huge 
messages to be downloaded automatically regardless of KMail's status. On 
a mobile you want to be able to tell Akonadi not to download messages 
exceeding a certain size. This is orthogonal to the question whether 
Akonadi should download mail if KMail is not running.
