I don't see the option of changing the encoding from latin1 to utf8 in my

If I continue to use latin1, will I face any problems?

You will if you ever want to use non-western character sets.

You can define the encoding for your database during database creation and during the schema loading.

If you've used the create_tables.mysql included with 2.2.5 your tables are already created using CHARSET=UTF8

You may need to define the charset during database creation as well:

mysqladmin --default-character-set=utf8 create dbmail
