 They offer practically unlimited storage via IMAP, but for security's
 sake, I'm thinking of using old-sk00l POP3 to download the mail to a
 local mail store, that I could then hit with IMAP locally with the
 messages stored on my server.

That's the beauty of something like Fetchmail - the only access would be
outbound to pull mail. SMTP would still go through the domain host.
