Confirming this.
Mail-notification goes to 100% trying to connect to a pop3 account whenever the network is disconnected.

So I imagine the 100% applies whenever connection fails.

The 100% cpu is a major pain, as it kills your battery life double quick. It makes mail-notification on laptops a serious liability.
