This makes sense. What doesn't make sense (to me at least) is why Dovecot is trying to connect using the user 'dovecot' when I specified a different user in dovecot.conf. (Forgive me for not disclosing the actual user name.) Is there a setting for mysql user I need to correct? What is the correct syntax, anyway?
