Small correction:
dovecot is an IMAP & POP3 server.

I use Postfix (and before that sendmail) as my mailserver to which 
fetchmail delivers the mail.
The sequence to get your mail from the ISP mailserver:
ISP (mailserver)-> fetchmail (gets the mail) -> Postfix (delivers to 
mailbox) -> dovecot mailserver to distribute the mail to the individual 
mailboxes from the clients (each client has an account on the host machine).
You need fetchmail as Postfix only delivers mail: the mail you send to 
your ISP mailserver and the mail received to the local mail delivery 
service i.e. dovecot.
