I am stucked while hMailServer server database setup and it is showing following error

Question

Error:

The MySQL client (libmysql.dll, 32 bit) could not be loaded.
hMailServer needs this file to be able to connect to MySQL.
The MySQL client needs to be manually copied to the hMailServer Bin directory. The file is not included in the hMailServer installation.
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\hMailServer\Bin\libmysql.dll

The error is pretty self explanatory. *Did you copy* the dll and test it? — Nic3500, Aug 14 '18 at 11:39
@Nic3500 Yes. I already did. Thanks problem solved. Actually it was about selecting database for server. — TheSagya, Aug 15 '18 at 12:49

It's a bit more complicated. You should read this Article which explain why it can be problematic with hMailServer 5.6.x and MySQL 8.x or higher
