[Dovecot] How to make Dovecot verbous

[Ken Stevenson]

With regard to your original problem, it sounds like you don't have 
mysql support compiled into Dovecot (--with-mysql option). Not sure what 
the logging problem is. I've debugged authentication using just 
auth_debug_passwords=yes, but I didn't enable separate log files so the 
messages were in maillog.
