That's intended behavior. The trick is to show only subscribed folders in 
your DIMAP account. Only those are sync'ed to your local machine. In the 
online IMAP account, there you show _all_ folders (not only the subscribed 
ones) and can access them remote as you need to access an "archived" 
message.
BTW if you have to top level folder for your IMAP account closed, KMail 
won't try to access the server for the online IMAP account. It's quite 
handy when working offline.
