Well I am very disappointed with Apple Mail. Its checking for new e-mails automatically from time to time regardless the options.
- In General options I set "Check for new messages" to "Manually"
- In each e-mail account I turned off the option "Include when automatically checking for new messages"
- In each IMAP account i turned off the option "Use IDLE command when server supports it"
Mail still downloads new e-mails from time to time.
Any tips how to finally turn this OFF? Thank you

I believe that the most effective way to accomplish this is in the "Mailbox" menu. Choose "Take all accounts offline" and you should be set. Let me know if it isn't what you want.
