There is a port, and I've been running it for about a year now. Never
had any problems, except that upgrading 0.9.x to 1.0 beta y required
rm'ing all indices or strange things happened.
Of course, this is on two boxes with respectively 1 and about 20 users,
so it's not that good an indication; but it does not crash at every
opportunity.
I do use it with maildir, though; mbox support may be less good.
