It is possible to use IMAP in exactly the same way you use POP. There is no requirement that keep the emails on the server after you have downloaded them.
If I remember rightly, keeping the messages on the server is not the default in Fetchmail, for example - you have to specify the "keep" option if you want to prevent the mail from being automatically deleted from the folders on the server. So, perhaps Fetchmail's default behaviour would be the desired result in this case.
