Same here, no shared folders though. Dovecot 1.0-test3 and 1.0-test4
(both installed using the Debian packages from unstable). 

Access to the mailboxes is with Thunderbird and mutt, format is maildir.
Thunderbird behaves nicely on those assertions (it just reconnects), but
mutt segfaults when it happens. 

This is my personal server so it only has a few accounts. Thunderbird is
running all day and I get a few (around five) assertions per day. But
when I use mutt it breaks at about every second startup.

Mails have been delivered to Maildir using maildrop.

Regards,
Bernhard
