Tell us please, did you tried to rebuild Dovecot with 5.5.8 or with 5.5.8_1 version of MySQL client? I hope that in 5.5.8_1 this bug must fixed already.

I just updated MySQL to Server version: 5.5.8 on my FreeBSD-8.2 system.
Now Dovecot refuses to run. Prior to this, dovecot had been running for several years without a problem.
Please recompile Dovecot again so that it re-links with the MySQL

This is a known problem on FreeBSD with the upgrade from MySQL 5.5.7 -> 5.5.8. I believe the port maintainer has also incorporated a fix into the FreeBSD ports.
I all ready did that twice. I completely removed Dovecot before reinstalling it the second time. The prolem still exists. In addition, I am using th version of MySQL that the "port maintainer" supposed fixed. I guess I will have no choice but to return to the older MySQL version. I would be interrested todiscoverif this problem is isolated strictly to FreeBSD + MySQL 5.5.8 however.
