Mail "Fetch New Data" is turned off, but I keep getting mail

With this turned off, I am getting new mail "sometimes". It doesn't pop up on my phone, but the Mail Icon will occasionally show new mail. Shouldn't this setting prevent new mail?

thanks

3G, iPhone OS 3.1.3

If you have Manually selected under Fetch at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data, the email account (if the email account does not support Push access for received messages) should not be automatically checked for new messages in the background.

With Manually selected, the email account or accounts should not be checked for new messages unless you launch the Mail application.
