+Just in case did you check that akonadi was running/responding ?
+Somehow kadressbook & kmail should have prompted about non running akonadi.
+Regarding the off-line status did you eventually installed for example 
+networkmanager  without having it running/managing your network ?
+Did you have the same issue with another kde's network application ? ( like 
+kopete for example) ?
+(It could be a solid issue eventually)

+I'm currently waiting for Qt validation by QA to push KDE 4.8.4 [1] on 
+updates/testing  (which came with a lot of fix for kdepim, some of them picked 
+up from 4.8.5). 
+However it's also possible that i'll simply push 4.8.5 since 4.8.5 should be 
+release (or at least tagged) by the end of July.

+Currently we're only missing the i586 validation if i'm not wrong.
