I've been running UoW at home for years, where it has a single account.  
While it generally works well, I find that if I leave Seamonkey mail 
running and then access my mail from another computer with either 
Seamonkey or Thunderbird, the Seamonkey on my main computer often locks 
up, though for some reason, accessing my mail from my Android phone does 
not cause this.  I have seen some hints in the Dovecot docs that it will 
fix this sort of problem.  So, I may change my home system from UoW to 
Dovecot, when I upgrade to a newer version of openSUSE (currently 
11.0).  I assume there should be no difficulties in switching to Dovecot 
since it and UoW both use mbox.
