Postfix has built-in minimal lda, but I use "dovecot-lda" as
"mailbox_command" in Postfix. I set it up for Sieve support which IMHO is
a nice way to speficy rules for IMAP based mail accounts.

I still receive a copy of mail via POP3 and let KMail sort it locally.
All mail it duplicated to IMAP account and "find -delete" removes older
mail. This IMAP account is for accessing via K9-Mail on smartphone.
