    The Imap service doesn't have anything to do with fetchmail. It's postfix
    that deals with fetchmail.
    Fetchmail "fetches" your mails from the various pop servers and dumps them
    in the mail queue for postfix to pick them up.
    Postfix delivers these mails to the local mailboxes or relays them to the
    destination if postfix is configured that way. Postfix uses the standard
    transport to deliver the mails, usually that transport is configured to pass
    the mails to the amavisd for spam and virus checking or directly to the imap
    service.

    If you can't get imap to work the first thing to check is the logfiles.
    /var/log/messages
    /var/log/mail.*

    If you use saslauthd to check authentication you might need to configure and
    start saslauthd as well.
