That is what a maildrop does. If you set up your inbox-path in your 
.pinerc to

#move {imap.fastmail.com/ssl/user=chris at cwm030.com}INBOX /home/chris/maildrop/in

then all messages will be moved from your INBon in fastmail to your 
maildrop/in folder as soon as you open your inbox, and you will be able to 
read them immediately without the need to open the maildrop/in folder.
