I also run debian on all servers (and clients), but I always compile the 
imap daemon from source. The same goes for other important server 
software, like sendmail, apache, php and mysql.

A little more work, but you can always run the latest version even on 
debian stable or oldstable, and won't have to depend on the package 
maintaners for bugfixes.
