[Dovecot] When the 1.0 release is planed?

[Andrew Hutchings]

Hi Jim,

It works great here, I am using maildir mailboxes on the NFS fileserver 
and the index files are getting stored on each node's local hard drive, 
this gets around locking problems a bit.  If you are running a clustered 
system try to keep IMAP connections staying on the same node (LVS has 
persistant connections for this) as you end up with indexes getting 
confused easily.
If you need any more info, let me know.

Regards
Andrew
