You might consider running OfflineIMAP from cron.  This will, of course,
force it to establish a new connection each time it runs, but OTOH if
there's a problem, it will only effect that one particular scheduled
run.  The Noninteractive.Quiet UI is useful for this.  Of course, you
will then have to store your password or authentication info somewhere.
