But like others have pointed out, go for the stable release versions and wait before upgrading to any new major release (8.1 being one) until the bugs are fixed.
We've seen problems due to our very high volume (around 500,000 to 600,000 emails per day go through our server), which probably won't affect you if you have less traffic. Most of these problems went away with version 8. And so far 8.05 has been the most stable version we've run and it can handle the load. We use a MySQL db for the user database and it's both very fast and stable (and free).
We also use Declude for the antispam filtering and it's helped a lot.
There are some long standing bugs that we'd like to see fixed (certain types of attachments don't display or download from the webmail and the smtp & webmail services are not 100% reliable) but overall I'd still recommend Imail.
Hope this helps, Stephan.

I'm the network admin for a company that employs about 130 people and two domains. We've been using our ISP and pop mail since I've been here and I finally talked the higher ups into letting me bring the email services in house. MS Exchange was ruled out because it was too expensive, so I have been testing Imail since version 7.
I like the KWM interface and IMAP seems to work well with Outlook Express. I've got the Symantec AV installed and spam filtering set up and so far I just have a few users testing it out for me and it seems to be running great. The server is a SuperMicro with dual 2.4GHz Xeons, Ultra 160 SCSI and 512MB RAM. (I may double that).
After being a member of this list for a few weeks, I've been feeling a little discouraged reading about all the problems I could face when I take this baby live. (version 8.05)
Overall , do you think Imail is a good choice? I spent two years making my case for this.
