I all ready did that twice. I completely removed Dovecot before
reinstalling it the second time. The prolem still exists. In addition,
I am using th version of MySQL that the "port maintainer" supposed
fixed. I guess I will have no choice but to return to the older MySQL
version. I would be interrested todiscoverif this problem is isolated
strictly to FreeBSD + MySQL 5.5.8 however.
