hi

as i created the rpms: my steps to get a working setup:

1. install postfix,fetchmail,dovecot
2. configure postfix via /etc/sysconfig/mail /etc/sysconfig/postfix
3. run SuSEconfig
4. create a selfsigned cert for ssl (script in /usr/share/doc/packages/dovecot)
5. enable ssl in the dovecot config
6. chkconfig dovecot on
7. rcdovecot start
8. configure fetchmail (not a topic on this list)
9. working setup reached at least for system users

hope that helps
