How to poll thunderbird process for new mails from terminal

Thunderbird Settings

I'd like to poll thunderbird process for new mails from terminal.

Is this somehow achievable? I don't want to have a work-around for this, like polling the dates of the files in the inbox folder or something alike. This would be very useful for scripts and customization.
