Dovecot is configured to serve imap.

You mean locally? It's configured to accept imap connections on the lan, 
but I was still at the stage of testing fetchmail on the command line, 
so I shouldn't have introduced any further complications.

Yes, it's running, and I can connect.  From this box I can see the 
messages I moved into one of its folders.  (The aim is to copy across 
all mail onto that laptop, so that it can function as server while I 
rebuild the real server).
