Postfix is an MTA and does neither store email nor lets you access email via IMAP.

Your needs depend on what you are trying to achieve, and you have been a bit vague on the details. If you plan to use a single fetchmail process, ~foo/.fetchmailrc (with foo being the user you want to run fetchmail as) usually suffices. -Ralph
