Do you think this is caused by a openssl upgrade or similar, or changes 
in Mail.app?

Cool, I'm getting my copy as soon as Apple Ireland get their act 
together! :-)

It works with UW-IMAP! (TM) :-).

But seriously, any client incompability is a problem for me, as I am 
evaluating for deployment in a largish ISP.

I'm also having some issues with slow download speeds when fetching a 
lot of message headers or message bodies (compared to UW-IMAPD with 
MBX). SELECT and SEARCH is VERY swift though.

I'll install dovecot on a test server and try to figure out what's 
going on.
