I did some testing w/dovecot 0.99 earlier in this same config,

Forget those results and try with 1.0beta instead :)

I ran tests on 1.0b2. I could _not_ make dovecot misbehave on NFS w/two physical servers accessing the same mailbox. All of the "undesirable" things that happened (i.e. really poorly written clients suffering strange views of the mailbox due to their own stupidity) were well within IMAP spec., and are non-destructive/lossy.

Kudos Timo! Thanks for writing some really excellent code.
