I've used Courier-IMAP (not the full MTA) in a number of fairly heavy
use environments and never had an issue with it.

I've also been using Dovecot for my personal mail for nearly a year, and
also haven't had an issue with it.

One nice thing if you're using Postfix, you can use Dovecot's SASL
library instead of the Cyrus SASL for doing SMTP AUTH. I find it much
easier to set up and understand.
