[Dovecot] Test version for production servers for shared folders

[Chris Wakelin]

We're happily running 1.0-beta3 in production (~20,000 users), but one
or two users have hit the bug in the Outlook-idle workaround, which is
fixed in 1.0-beta5 (a couple of users are now using 1.0-beta5, but I'll
wait to see if this bug a big issue before upgrading).

I'd agree with Odhiambo, the 1.0-betas are probably more stable than
0.99.x. I just get a bit jumpy when Timo replaces whole chunks of code
in one go (like the ssl code rewrite in 1.0-beta4 that had to be reversed).

To sum up, yes, use the betas, but maybe wait a week or so after each
release!

Best Wishes,
Chris
