Actually, I think your prior experience (on what made it work) points us
in another direction.
Specifically, you said making the password change in qmailadmin worked
everywhere BUT Dovecot, and restarting Dovecot made it work there too...
This would leave me to believe that Dovecot is caching passwords from
the MySQL database, and probably has to be told to stop doing so.
Just my thoughts -- I had trouble with Dovecot on a large heavy-use
server and switched back to courier, so I don't use dovecot myself.

Yes, there is absolutely nothing in dovecot.log
This has been going on since CentOS5 with the manual switch from
courier to dovecot.
Seems courier has always worked in password synchronization
automatically with change in qmailadmin.
But dovecot i have yet to see it work. Maybe no one has put in the
functionality yet in qmailadmin? Maybe just order a restart every
time a password change is made?

Edwin,
Interesting. Have you looked in the dovecot log to see what's going on?

I found a definite bug in QmailAdmin Change Password with Dovecot
Update Lagging
So I can go to qmailadmin and change my user password...
...but when I log out and try to login again with the NEW password I
get an error:
"Error: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
Query: LOGOUT"
I try logging in again and use the OLD password and I get in.
The only time I can get in with the new password is if restart dovecot:
# service dovecot restart
I have repeated this experiment with qmailadmin in squirrelmail and
from outside just qmailadmin independent.
I also upgraded qmailadmin to testing
http://mirror3.qmailtoaster.com/testing/CentOS/6/x86_64/qmailadmin-1.2.16-1.qt.el6.x86_64.rpm
But I still have the same problem with this lag in dovecot updating
/ synchronizing with a just changed password.
As a work around, I resort to doing a cron job to restart dovecot
every few minutes just so any change in password will be caught and
updated.
Maybe the guys in charge of Qmailadmin - Dovecot modules can
coordinate to get this updating done?
Or if you have a fix, already post it here?
Best wishes,
Edwin
