This could be from a number of problems, but most likely, the MySQL version has
changed between boxes, or mysql is in a different place on the machine.
vpopmail takes the mysql include and lib files and compiles them into the vpopmail
binaries.
Changing versions may require recompiling vpopmail.
Other issues could be:
connectivity - can the vpopmail user log into mysql? Is the username and password
correct? Does the mysql user physically have access to the port?
DNS - is the new machine properly set up?
Do you get any errors?
They would be helpful.

I might be stupid to ask this, but I have looked online and in
documentation, so I decided to ask here.
I have a qmail+vpopmail setup, that authenticates through a remote mysql
server. When I take the mysql server down and replace it with a
different box, thats has all the data, users, grants etc on it that the
previous box had, it no longer authenticates. I replace the old box, and
it once again works... So, has anyone here ever made replacement like I
am trying and failing to do?
