Dovecot gets good reviews.
Cyrus seems to work for me just fine. It seems bullit proof.

I went from UoW IMAP to dovecot -- unlike Cyrus, it didn't require I reformat my
email boxes (all in unix 'mbox format', as they all started as Unix-mbox's)... into
it's custom format. And Dovecot is very fast....

Tbird gets a bit bogged down when I first open email after leaving it for a
while (as the imap store with about ~250 subscribed folders), but with
only about 75-80 active ones (that get email when I'm not connected). But that's the only time it gets slow -- and the slowdown is on single-threaded
TB, not on the server... you can also install an indexing sieve filter for higher
perf, but I haven't needed that (and I don't think TB will make use of it)..for
cross folder searching and such...
