Do it one piece at a time. Get fetchmail running, along with your MTA
(I use postfix), and let it just download the mail and drop it into your
Maildir or where ever you would like it. Once that works to you add the
rest of the pieces one by one. It's just easier to troubleshoot that
way.

let postfix hand the mail off to procmail

install courier-imap - after installing with apt-get there is absolutely
nothing you have to do to configure it
