I'm using CentOS 4.5, is the dovecot default rpm comes with mysql support? Do I need to rebuild it?
The packages at ATrpms already come with mysql support. Did you try them?
Do they also have 'inotify' support? I seem to recall trouble with the ATrpms version of dovecot. The particular CentOS 4.5 box I was using still had a 2.4 kernel, since it'd been recently upgraded from RHEL3. (We didn't want to upgrade the kernel on the remote box since it was working fine for our purposes).
No, on RHEL4 (and therefore CentOS4 as well) inotify has been disabled. Although I didn't document the reason good enough, so maybe it is worth while checking if a rebuild would be OK (simply rebuilding the package will enable inotify). Would you like to test it and report back?
As for a 2.4 kernel on RHEL4 & clones: The kernel will not provide the neccessary inotify functions, but I hope dovecot will just notice that and not fail on it (e.g. just disable inotify support). But I haven't tested that combo.

As it turned out the rebuild also created a newer dovecot.conf which I failed to notice, I guess the old config won't work with version 1.0.7
