Mail (DockStar?) Launch Issue

Earlier today I logged out and logged back in to deactivate a old and unneeded InputManager. When I opened Mail it wouldn’t respond. During that time it turned out that our internet access was not working. To fix the problem I moved the DockStar bundle out and restarted Mail. Then I quit Mail and put the DockStar bundle back in it’s proper location. Upon launching Mail it responded normally. Is there some reason that either Mail on it’s own or DockStar would require an internet connection to activate normally? There’s no reason at all why it would, but who knows.
