I recently upgraded my server distro (Mitel SME Server 5.6 to 6.0),
which included a change from UW-IMAP (using Maildir) to Dovecot. This
cured a problem which had been a killer for me - Evo couldn't/wouldn't
show new messages in folders other than the Inbox, and as I make use of
Procmail on my server to filter mail into the subfolders, this was not a
good thing (TM)... Dovecot works a treat, however, and I'm very happy
with Evo (and about to try 1.5, as I'm interested in having my
appointments on the server side).
