could you please elaborate on this? are there any security issues with using the debian version? what are the problems you are implicating with your above statement, that it's 'not fully working either'?

Does Dovecot even care about its open-source community any more ? We know you've opted to focus on your commercial efforts, that's fine, that's you prerogative. But at the moment it is feeling like "go closed source or show some more feeling towards the open-source side".
I mean seriously, "it can sometimes crash", is that all ?
Does it mean people should not use the Debian packages full stop ?
Does it mean people can use the Debian packages but not certain configurations ?
"it can sometimes crash" is basically the same thing as not bothering to post anything at all. shrug.
You can find said crashes on this very mailing list if you'd bother to search. Also I know that when I tested it last time, mail crypt plugin didn't work, based on our unit & CI tests.
And the patch was not made by us. It was made by someone else, so you are now expecting me to fully debug & investigate & report all problems in it to the originator?
And no, we are not going closed source. If you are in a hurry to use 2.4, you can head out to https://github.com/dovecot/core, clone & build a 2.4 for you as soon as you want. It should work well, but it's not release QA'ed yet.
