Concurrent access/usage will dictate if you need more than one server.
what kind of access ?
IMAP(s), POP3(s), webmail
no problem - webmail is separate of course, use whichever webmail app
you like
how many server ?
2 (how to configure this with dovecot ? hearthbeat ? is it better with 1 big
hardware ? )
Timo is working on integrated replication right now, but it does
currently have proxy capability that I understand works well and makes
this fairly painless, although I haven't used it...
But I'm not sure if you are talking about 2 REDUNDANT servers (for
fail-over in the event the primary fails), or 2 active/load-balanced
servers... proxy would work for load-balancing, and you can configure
anything to use heartbeat, no?
Database user ?
LDAP
no problem
Mail DB ?
Cyrus maildir
You'll have to convert to standard maildir:

Capability ?
Sieve / Quota
On latest version (1.1.2 currently), no problem, but a newer/full
rewrite to provide native sieve capability is in progress, which will
provide much better control
High Performance without hacking conf files !
this is one of dovecots strongest points imo...
