That's likely.

Bug 2769 is just the tip of the iceberg though, since it's one way to
forcefully go offline and increase the chance of triggering a crash as a
side-effect (of some part of the code continueing to use freed memory
structures possibly). The alternative (with Network Manager support) is to
interrupt the networking connection (e.g. plug a cable or reset the used (W)LAN
router). The symptoms of the crash are those of a race-condition and not 100%
reproducibly, but they plague various Claws Mail users.

See comments in bug 3084 for some more background.
