I second (third?) both of the above. I switched my main production mail server
from imap-uw to dovecot about a year ago and have been much happier since. It
is very stable, and handles large folders and concurrent connections to the
same account very smoothly (both things I had issues with using imap-uw). I
think that dovecot's "betas" are like other products' "release
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 experiment
with that.
