Now I have these in the configuration file

[Unit]
Description=Sync mail
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/path/to/the/script
TimeoutStartSec=1min30s

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

However the script is still broken at system startup. Hmm...I am using a
Ubuntu 16.04LTS. I will post if there are any news.
