Getting a few minutes old 1.0-stable would also be useful to avoid the mbox performance problems that I managed to put into it a few days ago :)
I had been following the threads, so I was keeping my eye out for a stable "stable" release. :)
However, it wouldn't authenticate any users.. Backing down to the 0.99.14 version that we had installed allowed for authentication (against ldap) to work just fine..
Is there anything that I should be looking for within the dovecot-1.0-stable that is dramatically different in regards to user authentication?
I discovered that the SPEC file that I used to build my RPM (after some minor modification to the SPEC file to properly handle the stable release numbers (date specific)) created imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s in /etc/pam.d, but didn't create a "dovecot" file (which is really all it needs). I symbolically linked dovecot to point to imap, restarted dovecot, and all was well.
I looked at the "Upgrade" link you pointed me to, specifically mentioning that the .subscriptions file had changed to "subscriptions" (minus the initial period).. I didn't have a chance to change mine before my latest tests, but all of my "subscribed" folders came up just fine. Odd..
