Through cron. My crontab entry is:

# fetch email every 10mins - less causes gmail problems
*/10 * * * * $HOME/bin/cron-run-offlineimap.sh

And cron-run-offlineimap.sh is:

#!/bin/sh

# Run offlineimap through cron to fetch email periodically

ps aux | grep "\/usr\/bin\/offlineimap"

if [ $? -eq "0" ]; then
	logger -i -t offlineimap "Another instance of offlineimap running. Exiting."
	exit 0;
else
	logger -i -t offlineimap "Starting offlineimap..."
	offlineimap -u Noninteractive.Basic
	logger -i -t offlineimap "Done offlineimap..."
fi
