i agree. 

offlineimap does have a builtin interval-resync functionality, however i
find it to be pretty buggy, so personally, i just go the cron route:

*/3 * * * * offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet


(i even call my own script[1] to check if its already running first, but
the above way should work too).
