Recommended IMAP server?

I've begun migrating all my machines from pretty much vanilla UW-IMAP 
(with the built in pop3d) over to Dovecot with Maildir delivery.

I've used UW for over 10 years on my mail servers, but I'm starting to get 
away from standard mbox format.  I like the benefits of Maildir for my 
specific needs, and it's much safer over NFS, which is what I'm also 
starting to use for some servers.

Dovecot was a very simple install from source, and I had it up and running 
with Maildir support, SASL smtp auth, and both pop3 and imap in about 10 
minutes after compiation.

I use Postfix for my MTA, but it should work with Sendmail or whatever.

I played with Courier a little bit, didn't really like it, and Cyrus was 
way too much for my needs at the time, and I'm not really looking to try 
it again.

Good luck.
