I'm afraid that's easier said than done. Debian as a rule uses older packages in their stable version. I just tried to install 1.1.rc5, but can't: checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found Directory: ~/downloads/dovecot-1.1.rc5 $ locate libmysqlclient /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 Long story short...I don't have the time to make individual customizations to the system so that one program will work only if I make wholesale changes to the sytem. If this would have been a simple .configure, make, make-install, then I'd do it. But it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade mysql, which will require other manual upgrades. Glen
