The one thing he does NOT want to do is what seems to be

any SpamAssassin access in evolution and tell it to fetch
from a pop3 or imap port on your local machine. Use the
fetchmail, procmail, dovecot sort of solution.

fetchmail-----> procmail----> mailbox -----> dovecot
Or fetchmail, maildrop, Courier IMAP sort of solution.
more generally:
(fetchmail|getmail|...) -> (MTA|MDA) -> SA -> (MTA|MDA) -> mailbox
If find maildrop much less cryptic to use and configure that procmail.
true. but some linux users seem to have packaging|build problems...
(example 1: maildrop built with authlib, but authlib not configured or
authdaemon not running. example 2: maildrop built without authlib, but
relies on authlib. example 3: messing with permissions/setuid... )
Courier IMAP I just use, dunno how it differs from Dovecot. I use Maildir
based configuration, that Courier handles well, but I guess dovecot too.
sure. and you can use maildrop with dovecot of course. (I use both
courier and dovecot, but will certainly move everything to dovecot).
