Hi, I compiled Dovecot and Mysql on two different servers each with the same options. Dovecot connects successfully on Server B. Server A has this error in Dovecot trying to connect to Mysql:
dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to /tmp/mysql.sock (exim_db): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 5 seconds before

Yes, that fixed it. I had read the wiki page but dismissed it because we are using plain text passwords in that database. So I didn't think password encryption had anything to do with it.
Thank you very much, and thanks to others who replied. Have a good day.
