Kind of depends. We're not there yet. I want the code to pass some
important tests before I do that:

- running load-tests without crashes (imaptest, testlmtp.py, etc).
- appending and retrieving large messages (>4MB) using thunderbird over
cleartext *and* ssl/tls.

The loadtests are still causing crashes under some circumstances, and
downloading a large message over tls sometimes appears to hang. Also,
there is a serious performance bug in the networking code that I'd like
to fix, though that may have to wait for 2.3.7.

Dude, you're out on a limb. 2.3.x is a unstable development series. I
won't add it to debian until I reach 2.4.0 - that is, when I'm convinced
it's ready for production systems.

2.3.6 != 2.4.0. So you better run your own acceptance tests before you
add it to macports. I'm running a recent revision on one of our internal
imap servers, and it's working almost perfectly. But ymmv.

That said, I don't expect to do or accept any more non-trivial schema
changes before 2.4.0. Also, featurewise I'm pretty much done. Stability,
and performance tweaks are mostly all that's left on the table. And imap
compliance of course. So I'm in bugsquash mode, but some more or less
invasive changes may be required if some important bug so dictates.

Just let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you out there.
