[Dovecot] dovecot genesis v2.0.X
V2 of dovecot has had the following releases (to recap)
2.0.0 2010-08-16 2.0.1 2010-08-24 2.0.2 2010-09-08 2.0.3 2010-09-17 2.0.4 2010-09-26 2.0.5 2010-10-01
I am on FreeBSD, and the port committers want to wait till dovecot V2 "stabilizes" prior to adding it to the FreeBSD ports base.
So, my question is, respectfully, is dovecot V2.0.5 stable enough for prime-time on a busy ISP mail server? I'll install it myself independent of the FreeBSD ports tree if so.
Thanks,
I am running 2.0.5 (svn repository) in production for about a thousand users without major issues.

It's getting better :) I'll make 2.0.6 release this week again with more fixes, but I still have a few bug reports that I haven't managed to reproduce.

Five updates in something like 63 days is certainly not encouraging. I am sure that Timo is doing the best he can; however, unless you had some over whelming need to update, and I would really like to know what this is, I would recommend waiting. By the way, I am also using FreeBSD-8.1/amd64. Until Dovecot can go a few months without a patch being issued, I think I'll wait. I certainly don't need any clients waking me up at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Mail folders containing both messages and sub-folders is what I/my clients desire.

I used Maildir++ layout with mboxes on dovecot 1.2.x. It wasn't documented in the wiki, but it supported the LAYOUT=Maildir++ option in mail_location just as well as dovecot 2.x does.
Give it a try!

I am on FreeBSD 8.1/amd64 and running Dovecot 2.0.5 on 8+ boxes. I just tweaked my port source to install the 2.0.x version instead of 1.2.x. It's been very stable for us without any issues.

I have been using the 2.0 branch on several sites, each having a few hundred users. Funnily I have never had any negative report from any of the sites. That could be because I use a pretty standard config without any tweaks. Sites are using FreeBSD 6.x, 7.x and 8.1-STABLE.

Great news! This has been long overdue.
Now we don't have to manually do everything.
