Same thing here: network connectivity loss makes mail-notification consume 100% CPU, which makes it very problematic on a laptop.
Forcing mail-notification to update its status (by running `mail-notification -u`)seems to bring CPU usage back to normal (it doesn't prevent the problem from popping back later, though).
