Simplest one to set up.
Had the .9 release up and running same day. When I had to rebuild my main server, I switched to downloading the latest release.
The configuration was still pretty straight forward, while I'll admit the documentation could be better. It assumes that you know more than you do. However, having said that, Dovecot's documentation is better than the rest.
The only quirk to Dovecot is that I'm using SSL and since I don't have authenticated certificates, Microsoft's Outlook keeps asking me if I want to continue to use them. Other mail clients don't bother me after the first time.
I'd recommend Dovecot over the others.
But then again, I run a small organization so your mileage may be different.
i run a small mailserver here .. about 25 mail accounts only one reason to use dovecot is to switch to maildir since mbox via imap is a pain in the ass when you got a couple hundred mails in one mbox file
currently its running via smarthost but i want to open pop3/ssl, imap/ssl and some secure smtp to the outside soon

Check the wiki. I wrote a glowing endorsement several months ago.
