You need to change mysql to just sql, ie:

userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
} passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf }

I believe that this will fix your issue.

Hi all I have this interesting issue. I installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. The install went well. I'm trying to get it to use a mysql database that postfix is already using to authenticate.

When I use this in dovecot.conf

userdb mysql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
} passdb mysql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf }

I get this error.

auth(default): Unknown passdb driver 'mysql' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options)

This is strange because I did compile it with mysql support. Any ideas here?
