1) x64 is Microsoft's marketing term. Why are you using it?

2) I run F11 x86_64 on two Core 2 machines. TB 3.0b4 on both. Dovecot 
IMAP with STARTTLS enabled. No problems whatsoever. Indexing on folders 
with thousands of e-mails worked fine. I've gone from b2, b3, and b4 
without any problems. I've only seen the nice bug fixes and new features 
come up. I doubt the validity of the claim that your bugs are "64-bit 
only" issues.
