Hi,
outlook isnt outlook , first clear what versions they use each
version of outlook is different ( including their service pack levels )
so i.e. outlook 2007 makes imap stuff very different to the versions
before, after all outlook wasnt a very good imap client since ever.
Be sure that you have recommanded Outlook entries in dovecot.conf ( see
wiki )
and if you need help you should show your dovecot.conf here.
and describe what perfomance stuff you mean, have you tested it by your
own ( dont trust users ! )?
For a first look you should have a i.e dovecot.log etc to see failures

I think i remember reading problems with outlook 2007 and tls, but i can
remember exactly

I have no reports from users having problems with outlook and dovecot
1.0.1 at my systems ( but i dont think i have much of them, so i cant
say that problems are are unthinkable *g )  )
