Yep.  Start by ditching that old as dirt POS distro known as CentOS.
And don't roll-your-own-Dovecot from source.  Simply install Debian 6,
or get your VPS provider to swap your image for it, and:

~$ aptitude install dovecot-imapd dovecot-common

You'll get version 1.2.15, which is probably fine as you don't need the
advanced features of 2.x anyway.  Then the only thing to worry about now
is getting dovecot.conf setup correctly, which is a lot easier than
digging yourself out of your current hole.
