Comms Manager Question

[zulu]

The Setup: I go into Comm Manager and turn off my phone and data connection and turn on WiFi and see that I'm connected to my router, and confirm this through the wifi settings applet.

The Problem: When I go to my email inbox and click "Send/Receive" I get an error back telling me "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. blah blah blah". So, wanting to be sure it isn't just an email issue with that particular server, I go to the inbox for my Gmail account and try again. Same error message. Testing one more time, I open up Pocket MoTweets and it errors out as well and tells me "Cannot connect to twitter at this time."

The Question: I know I've done it before, but if you have no service/turn off the phone (airplane mode even), I should still be able to connect to and utilize wifi for my phone's data? Right?
