Hi,
I'm new to dovecott. Using version 1.0.rc15.
You'd be doing yourself a favor by upgrading first - this is a very old/buggy version...
The 1.1 release is imminent (at rc5 stage now), so personally I'd move to that.
You'll have to enable one of the at repositories, but it is available...
I'm afraid that's easier said than done. Debian as a rule uses older packages in their stable version. I just tried to install 1.1.rc5, but can't:
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found
Directory: ~/downloads/dovecot-1.1.rc5 $ locate libmysqlclient /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
Long story short...I don't have the time to make individual customizations to the system so that one program will work only if I make wholesale changes to the sytem. If this would have been a simple .configure, make, make-install, then I'd do it. But it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade mysql, which will require other manual upgrades.
