I've been running dovecot 1.1 on FreeBSD 7.x for a while with a bare minimum of

accessing mail on a Netapp over NFSv3 via imapd. delivery is via procmail which
doesn't touch the dovecot metadata and webmail uses imapd. Client connections
to imapd go to random servers and I don't yet have solid means to keep certain
users on certain servers.
Are you familiar with:
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/NFS
Basically, you're running a "try to avoid doing this" configuration, but it
does discuss some options to improve the situation. If you can tolerate the performance
hit, try disabling NFS attribute cache...
Regards,
I am familiar with that page, have taken it into account, worked closly
with Timo the author of Dovecot and my mail servers have been running
close enough to perfect on 7.x for years. The FreeBSD version is the
the only major change that I can think of at this point other than the
versions of other ports. I'm planning to revert some to 7.x to make sure.
