I second (third?) both of the above. I switched my main production mail ser=

from imap-uw to dovecot about a year ago and have been much happier since. =

is very stable, and handles large folders and concurrent connections to the=

think that dovecot's "betas" are like other products' "release=20
candidates"--I've never had the sense that I'm using beta software.

It also supports shared folders, although I haven't had a need to experimen=

with that.
