Now so far Ive set up Dovecot and Its working fine, but How would I get my email accounts mail to be placed in the Inbox of my IMAP account? I'm think I would need to use either fetchmail or getmail to grab my mail. After that do these programs just save it in the appropriate IMAP folder on disk (which would be new?) or do I need a MTA such as qmail setup and fetchmail or getmail passes the email to the MTA which just transfers it locally on the same computer?

Mail grabber -> MTA -> procmail -> Dovecot -> MUA

This is how I do it, so yes, this works.
