An AppleScript to periodically check all IMAP folders
Authored by: Greedo on Jan 22, '04 05:41:35PM

For those of you using the cron suggestion given in the first comment, you can change the crontab entry to only run during work hours. Thus, if you aren't at work and Mail is running, it won't bother updating. Might be useful for people who leave their Macs always logged in.

To run every 10 minutes, from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, the cron entry is:

*/10 8-20 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/osascript /path/to/script.scpt
