FYI, We deployed Dovecot 1.1RC1 yesterday on about 100k+ mailboxes (on multiple frontends which connect to a storage via NFS). We handle about one IMAP login every second (for now only from our webmail app). So far; it's been running like a charm; we come from Courier IMAP and Dovecot IMAP (with indexes and auth_cache) performs much faster and puts less load on our frontends and webmail app.

I think most of the crashfixes that are on my TODO list happen only after client has already disconnected.
