[Dovecot] Strange Mysql connect problem

[Tom]

Well, that looks like a MySQL 'Access Denied' error rather than a 
Dovecot 'Access Denied' error so my guess is that your MySQL setup is 
wrong somewhere. Either you're using the wrong password, most likely 
IMHO, or you didn't Grant permission to that user in MySQL perhaps. 
Either way, it looks like it connecting to MySQL but then MySQL kicks 
you out.
