My preferred way is running offlineimap in the background using a cron job,
every couple of minutes. If it couldn't connect, it'll try again later. Here
is my crontab entry:

    */3 * * * * /usr/bin/offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet
    27 1 * * * /usr/bin/offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet -a 
Zope.com-Archives

The first line updates my main account every 3 minutes, the other line
updates my archives once a day. The latter set of mailboxes are humongous,
and I don't use them often enough to care about a finer update resolution.
