My password does contain some weird characters, including the # character, so I tried to find all the places it occurs in the config files and surrounded it with double quotes ("), but it still fails.
Did I miss something, or is this caused by something else?
have you done the mysql-grant part (from the wiki) with a flush privileges afterwards?
Are you able to login from the console with `mysql -u mailsql mailsql`?
PS Sorry about the late response, but other things have taken priority over this.
Yeah, live is sometimes a b!#!#, as well as courier-imap when it comes to passwords! I once searched for hours and it was just a whitespace behind the password in the configfile!
Finally got time to get back to this problem today. I changed the password and it still doesn't work.
