Hi, dovecot has a little crazy behaviour connecting to a mysql db: if you specify "127.0.0.1" as host instead of "localhost" it seems to work, also with a password. BUT, if you assign host=localhost without a password, it works too (as Ger Visschers says)....

So if you have host=localhost and a password, it doesn't work?

Dovecot just passes these values to Mysql library without doing anything to them itself. So if it happens, it's Mysql library bug.

Anyway, in my system host=localhost + password word just fine too.

One more question: how I can specify more different mysql-db conteining different users? I try in the following way: passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql_debord.conf } passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql_django.conf }

This should work. After trying to authenticate against the first one it should try the second. Although I'm not sure if I've tried two passdb sqls before, maybe Dovecot has problems with that.. Well, I'll try once I get home.
