I switched my main production mail ser= ver=20 from imap-uw to dovecot about a year ago and have been much happier since. = It=20 is very stable, and handles large folders and concurrent connections to the= =20 same account very smoothly (both things I had issues with using imap-uw).

It also supports shared folders, although I haven't had a need to experimen= t=20 with that. JN
