Hi! I'm wondering how close Dovecot can be said to be to 1.0 "Final". How stable can the alpha branch be said to be? I was browsing around the Dovecot homepage, but I couldn't find any answer to this question. I hope it hasn't been asked (too many times) before. Fredrik Tolf

Almost everybody here on this ML is (like us) using the alpha versions in production environments and they have proven to be very stable.

How > stable can the alpha branch be said to be?The alpha (iirc soon to be relabelled beta) release is stable enough for production use in most circumstances. Some features aren't all there - e.g. quotas are still a moving target. We'd all love to say we're using 1.0-stable, but that's entirely Timo's call :) regards Joshua. -- Josh "Koshua" Goodall "as modern as tomorrow afternoon" joshua at roughtrade.net - FW109
