Have you tried crontab ?  I have in my crontab a line:

	30 * * * * /usr/bin/claws-mail --send

to flush once an hour any queued mail that failed to send, due to Claws being already busy sending.

Works quite well, so claws-mail --receive should work too.

Of course I have claws-mail open on the desktop at the time.

Cheers,
 
Ron.
