Unless you really need the features of Cyrus or Courier, the easiest way 
is just to install uw-imap which requires basically ZERO configuration and 
it will let you IMAP to the box using your login details for the account 
that fetchmail is delivering to (via smtp or procmail).
Very easy but doesn't do maildir etc... which for a small setup is not 
really that important.
