Two components:

fetchmail - gets email from POP3 (client)
dovecot - serves email out by IMAP (server)

Both on the standard repos: sudo apt-get install fetchmail dovecot

Note that fetchmail can also get email from IMAP and dovecot can also 
serve email out by POP3. The point is, fetchmail to fetch the mail, 
dovecot to serve it out.

Let me know if you have more specific questions. I don't use Fetchmail 
but lots of people on this list do. I do use Dovecot to serve IMAP though.
