I haven't had time to read through the Dovecot mailing list yet, so there are likely some reported bugs that haven't been fixed yet. I'll try to get to them next week in San Francisco. (Probably can't get much done this week in Tokyo.) In the mean time here's v2.2.11 with some new features.

+ acl plugin: Added an alternative global ACL file that can contain
mailbox patterns. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL for details.
+ imap proxy: Added proxy_nopipelining passdb setting to work around
other IMAP servers' bugs (MS Exchange 2013 especially).
+ Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain} variables.
See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables for details.
+ Added support for LZ4 compression.
+ stats: Track also wall clock time for commands.
+ pop3_migration plugin improvements to try harder to match the UIDLs
correctly.
- imap: SEARCH/SORT PARTIAL reponses may have been too large.
- doveadm backup: Fixed assert-crash when syncing mailbox deletion.

Good news about the global ACL file and LZ4 :)
Bad news about the missing fixes for CLucene support on FreeBSD
 
On FreeBSD 9.1:

There is a problem with this Dovecot version. I am on CentOS 6.5 64bit. After upgrading to Dovecot 2.2.11, then any mail I received after the upgrade keep coming in to my inbox, every time I check for new email, the same email that I already received keep coming in flooding my inbox. So far I have only tested by using my email client connecting to POP3

I am downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.10 now, and will update this post to confirm that the downgrade solved the problem.

Edit: The problem was solved immediate after downgrade to Dovecot 2.2.10

(CentOS 5.10 x86, SpamBlocker4.2) after Dovecot 2.210->2.2.11 update both IMAP and POP3 transport works normally. Did std testing IN&OUT. No problem.
But-a ....I've seen some info about pop3 keeping crashing in this version, see here http://www.marshut.com/iptpuu/v2-2-11-released.html Eventually I'm waiting for any problem report and give you a feedback if got any.

The problem exists. I can confirm now. Fallback to 2.2.10

I don't know what you mean by re-download, but I guess you mean that you did ./build update? If so, the reason your version is not yet updated, should be because not all mirrors is updated yet. So that problem will solve itself in a few hours when you do ./build update again ...

However if you do not want to wait, you can change to use files1, wich is the first mirror/server that is updated with changes. To do that, edit the file /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf - find the line downloadserver=... and set that line to be this:

Code: 
downloadserver=files1.directadmin.com

Then run ./build update and ./build versions, and you should have 2.2.10 available to install.
 
I can also confirm this, Dovecot 2.2.12 is a good release, and I have not seen any problems. :)
 
Just for clarification: If a Dovecot POP3 connection isn't completed (for example because of a crash), then the next login will start downloading again from the beginning of the last login. That's why people were seeing multiple copies of the same email. This is a design feature of the original POP3 protocol (and has been left in) to be sure that emails are never deleted from the server, or marked as already sent, until all available emails have been downloaded and the client has reproted back (through the same connection) that all emails have been received, which happens only at the end of the connection; not after each email.

There's no error with IMAP because the IMAP protocol redownloads each email every time you click on the email in the email-list (tevchnically it's a link).
