If you've overriden client defaults, yes. The subscription file is
annoying -- there's a simple way to have dovecot do that migration the
first time, though and it's easy enough to throw in. I'm still hoping
Timo will make it a zero work thing soon, though ;-)

It's much better than courier in featureset, since it actually supports
mbox. Performance / memory / cpu it's better than uw (but what isn't? ;-).
I can't say about courier b/c it's maildirs and, for lots of reasons, I'm
not.
Seems better in performance/memory than Courier for me with my lots of
mail. And oodles better than uw imap.
