I found this applescript some time ago, but stopped using it because 
mail.app started crashing more often then. But that was a year ago or 
so.. Maybe it works more nicely nowadays:

on checkMail()
	tell application "Mail"
		set everyAccount to every imap account
		repeat with eachAccount in everyAccount
			tell eachAccount
				set include when getting new mail to false
				set include when getting new mail to true
			end tell
		end repeat
	end tell
end checkMail

on run
	checkMail()
end run

on idle
	checkMail()
	return 60
end idle
