It is absolutely proper behavior. Akonadi is a background service that 
is completely independent of KMail. KAddressBook and KOrganizer also use 
Akonadi and I guess you wouldn't want to start KMail every time you want 
to look up an address (in KAddressBook) or put an appointment in your 
calendar (in KOrganizer). The event notifier (korgac) also uses Akonadi. 
I suppose you would want to be reminded about upcoming appointments even 
if KMail was not running.

Maybe reading
  http://community.kde.org/Promo/Strategy/Akonadi
will help clear up what Akonadi is and what it is not.
