    Ah, now I remember you. But I must confess I am innerly shaking my head.
    And I'll stop making comments on your trials. Why? Because I gave you
    the hint, that you need to compile dovecot yourself with MySQL /
    PostgreSQL support. The easiest way would be to just get the SRC.RPM and
    edit the spec file. You decided to take a different IMAP server - one
    which is not part of Fedora Core -, well your choice. Then please read
    the docs for it and search google for necessary information to integrate
    it with Sendmail and Squirrelmail.

    This is not offence, just my point of view when seeing that someone
    fiddles around with some software where he has not really an concept of,
    nor a clear idea by reading the docs. Why not starting with _easy_
    setups, here meaning _without_ an SQL backend for authentication? Get
    that to run and then by reading documentation convert to something more
    complex. It is your choice and there are certainly enough subscribers on
    this list with good knowledge about mail servers. May they have the
    patience to help you.
