I bought my Camry Hybrid XLE in August 2014. I have around 12,000 miles on it and in June 2016 started to notice a mildew smell. At first I thought it was the A/C, however I realized the smell emanates from the left driver-side door window. I read something about a drain in the bottom of the door so will check it out. I have an appointment this weekend (July 30, with the dealer for basic maintenance check, so will also discuss with them). Seem rather disconcerting to see so many other complaints over the years regarding the mildew smell in this car. If this is going to be ongoing I'll more than likely sell the car and purchase from a different car company.
