I actually use Google Apps for Domains -- it works fine with IMAP so I figure using Alpine will work fine. You could use fetchmail or convert your procmail recipes to google's filtering logic (I didn't find making up rules on their web interface too bad). The IMAP import on a paid Google Apps for Domains account is impressive, I had myself and my wife converted in less than half a day -- I had ~2.5GB of mail, too.
