The only issue I'm still facing is, that I don't like to run getmail as a cronjob that connects to my online mailboxes every minute or so, I'd rather want it to do so every thirty minutes and whenever I request so by fetching my mails at my mailclient (e.g. outlook), I've font the Fetchmail Wakeup plugin, but according to the description this only works for version 1.1.x and 1.2.x but I'm running 1.0.13.

You could create a plugin that triggers getmail every time IMAP's STATUS command is sent. Or probably best to do it on mailbox_opened hook (in v2.0).
