[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.x or 1.2, which way to go for Kolab Server?

[Sascha Wilde]

Hi Timo,
Hi *,

was written the other day we started to use Dovecot 1.2 for our Kolab
with Dovecot project, but it turned out that there are quite a bunch of
issues with 1.2 (which is ok, as it hasn't even been announced as beta
till now).

We have a customer who should get a first test installation of Kolab
with Dovecot in the first week of September and for that we need the
features mentioned in my other mails, especially the enhanced name
spaces for shared folders.  (%%h, listing of shared folders, an
checkpassword like backend for userdb).

So the big decision to make is:

- stay with 1.1.x and port the needed shared namespace stuff back from 1.2
or
- build on 1.2 and resolve all issues caused by it

Timo, do you have any opinion/advice on this?
How far from being production ready is 1.2 in your view?  
How hard would it be to get the shared folder/namespace stuff in 1.1.x?
(or for that matter: who much harder than to do it in 1.2?)

We are currently evaluating these questions, but I would highly
appreciate your comments on this. 

cheers
sascha
