"Drop in" replacement for imap-UW?

I've been running imap-UW on FreeBSD 6.x STABLE for a while.
Clients are 
mostly Thunderbird, TREOs and Horde (running on the same
box.

I'm having issues when multiple clients try to access the
same user's 
mailbox. Typically the TREO will do a scheduled check for
new mail while 
Thunderbird has it already open. Research indicates that
this is a 
limitation of the UW imapd implementation.

Can anyone recommend a good and secure imapd implementation
that won't 
require a ton of reconfiguration? Mostly I'd like the
replacement to be 
able to use all the existing end-user imap folders and mail
spools. All 
users have accounts and mail spools on the box. There's no
virtual users 
or database authentication backends to deal with.

        TIA     ...jgm

Could it be the deadlock bug that's fixed in the latest
release (2006k):
