If all you want is for Mail to check all accounts at a specific time
interval, you can already do that in Account Preferences, or via script:

tell application "Mail"
set fetch frequency to 10 -- Mail will check every 10 minutes
end tell

You can set any integer fetch frequency you want, not just the ones
available in the popup in Mail's Account Preferences.

I run this exact script (OK, not exact, I set the time to 2 instead of 10) and each time, Mail.app blows up. I am running OS X 10.2.1. I get the generic "This application has unexpectedly quit. Other programs are not affected" dialog box, and Mail is gone.

Any ideas?
