If I were to do this, I'd use BINC as the IMAP server. It's small, fast, and
uses standard Maildirs. I'd probably also use getmail instead of fetchmail,
for reasons that become apparent if you follow the link in my .sig :).
Otherwise, what you're describing is quite common and sane (many getmail users
do exactly what you describe).
