Fetchmail pulls mail from the provider(s) and hands it off to the
local MTA. I would choose either exim (version 4) or postfix as the
MTA. The MTA needs to be configured to pass the mail through SA
before delivering. You may want to insert an MDA in between the MTA
and the Mail Spool to sort mail into different folders.

IMAP -> MUA
I am currently using uw-imapd for the IMAP server. None of the
choices are "perfect". The IMAP server will bridge between the
network (where the MUA, Outlook Express, is) and the Mail Spool on the
server.
