@Timo : You would just put a page with in 2 columns, left , the old default conf, right, the new default conf, that would be a million times helpful

Is a mysql error. mysql isn't allowing the user dovecot to open the
database to run your SQL query.  Until you can open the database, you
aren't even retrieving the account password. That is where you should
concentrate your efforts. I don't use mysql for authentication so I
can't really tell you how to configure dovecot or mysql to make it
work.
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?

Maybe you're missing all the mysql settings?

mysql localhost {
  user = something
  password = something-else
}

https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.0/core/config/sql/mysql.html lists all the mysql settings.

Yeah, would be nice to have some examples in docs.
