Hi, it seems that you want to read user & pass info from the MySQL DBMS. Problem 1 seems to be permission issue, since it cannot write. Problem 2 is misconfiguration related mysql with dovecot. SEE RED TEXT because it is working, i have the following in "/etc/dovecot.conf" and "/etc/dovecot-sql.conf", that concern to authentication. Either you have not provided the full information or cross check your configuration. configuration is missing that i feel.

*" /etc/dovecot.conf"*

passdb sql { args = etc/dovecot-sql.conf }

userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf }

*## Authentication processes*

auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth default { mechanisms = plain login

passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf }

userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } *

" /etc/dovecot-sql.conf"*

driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=your_pass_word default_pass_scheme = MD5 password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' *user_query *= SELECT maildir, 125 AS uid, 125 AS gid, CONCAT('*:messages=10000:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
