Postfix is an MTA and does neither store email nor lets you access email |
| 8 |
via IMAP. There must be an IMAP server in your mix somewhere (e.g. |
| 9 |
Dovecot or Courier). |

Your needs depend on what you are trying to achieve, and you have been a |
| 16 |
bit vague on the details. If you plan to use a single fetchmail process, |
| 17 |
~foo/.fetchmailrc (with foo being the user you want to run fetchmail as) |
| 18 |
usually suffices. |
