Officially, in the ports tree on FreeBSD is 1.0beta3. Has not been updated by the port maintainer for a while. However, I have built several systems and I am running 1.0beta7 in all of them. No problems at all, except for the a dumb moment when I compiled KQUEUE support, which is known to be broken. What was the original problem the OP had again? ;)
There are syntax differences in the config file between dovecot .99x as included in fedora versions before FC5 and the 1.x version in FC5, so after a distribution full-level upgrade to FC5 (not really supported but it mostly works...) the mailboxes disappear. The only reason that this is worth so much discussion is that it is going to happen to a lot of people. I'd venture a guess that the largest installed base of dovecot is on fedora, RHEL, and centos that all included the .99 version, because they are so popular.
