I don't have any solution but i just thought i'd post my experience.
I'm using Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 on OS X and dovecot 1.0rc3 on FreeBSD 6.1 and it's been way happy. The only difference i see is that i'm using Maildir
I had a problem a few months ago where imap was crashing often and i ended up deleting the .cache's and everything got happy again.
I also built dovecot with --with-ioloop=kqueue --with-notify=kqueue Everything is happy here.

Howdy,
I'm very excited about the new dovecot release because I've been having problems with a hang on saving messages to my sent-mail box over imap+ssl.
I installed 1.0rc3 over my 1.0rc2 install on FreeBSD 5.3 in the same manner as all the other upgrades I've done. After checking my email, tbird became nonresponsive and I saw this repeating in my logs ad infinitum:

Restarting my mail client had no effect on the problem, nor did restarting the server.
For now, I've downgraded to 1.0rc2 and I'm not having any problems.
Thanks for any help! Todd
