Hi,
I got this working. I had missed out on a package MySQL-shared-compat. This package is not generated by default from the source RPM. I had to get it manually from "ftp://ftp.orst.edu/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.15-0.i386.rpm". I installed this package and restarted dovecot. Now works fine.
Thanks, Saurabh

I upgraded my MySQL installation on my FC2 machine from the 3.23 version to the newest 5.0 version. Now dovecot won't start. It gives me the error : 'dovecot dead but subsys locked'. I am using dovecot-0.99-14.
Did you rebuild dovecot with the new libraries? If you removed the MySQL 3.23 libraries, there would be nothing for dovecot to run against. For that matter, I doubt that anyone has built dovecot with MySQL 5.0 yet, so I'm not even sure that it is possible.
