Mac Mail does not automatically download mail

My Mac Mail does not automatically download mail even though preferences are set to download mail every 5 minutes. I have to click on "synchronize mail" each time to receive mail. My main email address is an IMAP account.

Mac Mail 6.6-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

From the Mail menu bar, select

Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Advanced

and check the box marked

Include when automatically checking for new messages

Repeat for each account.
