FYI,
We deployed Dovecot 1.1RC1 yesterday on about 100k+ mailboxes (on multiple frontends which connect to a storage via NFS). We handle about one IMAP login every second (for now only from our webmail app). So far; it's been running like a charm; we come from Courier IMAP and Dovecot IMAP (with indexes and auth_cache) performs much faster and puts less load on our frontends and webmail app.
Cheers,
Jan

I don't think locking is an issue. NFS caching is more problematic.
But with v1.1's mail_nfs_*=yes settings there should be no problems with
storing indexes on NFS.That's good to know. Do you view 1.1 as production ready now, or
should I wait for an official release? It sounds production ready in the RC1 release notes, but I was curious how much remains on your "few issues you'd like to fix" list and how relevant they are to my environment.
v1.1 is already used in production in a couple of large installations,
so it should probably work quite well. I think most of the crashfixes
that are on my TODO list happen only after client has already
disconnected.
