Wow. We never should have switched from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. Having a
750,000 user base. We made the switch to Dovecot in an effort to trim a
little overhead on our systems. But our OS (FreeBSD 5.4 - UFS) version
is rapidly reaching EOL. All future versions will default to UFS2.
Dovecot seems to handle UFS correctly. But if we had known that we
were required to write our own code to stay onboard with Dovecot, we
would have *never* made the switch. It appears that Dovecot is not
an appropriate choice for Production systems. But rather; better suited
for hobbyists. I sure wish we had known this from the start.
