I like the idea of a roundup survey of what situations people are using Dovecot 
in.  It can be cited for new people to improve their confidence, and also let 
Timo know how great a job he's doing :)

We're quite a small install, and quite an old version, but it chugs along nicely.

Server: Sun Netra X1 ( UltraSPARC IIi 550MHz )
RAM: 1GB
Users: ~ 25 IMAP, 3 or 4 POP3
Auth: passwd/shadow
Maildir size: ~16GB
Dovecot version: 0.99.14 (will move to 1.0 when I get time :)
Client Software: Thunderbird

I put in about 0 work in keeping it running... it just hums along without issue.
