you can't install it yet because dovecot-2.3.4-2.x86_64 is not shown, probably due to the priority protection plugin:
-> 226 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Try disabling it, see:

Afterwards you should see all dovecot packages and can install version 2.3.4 again
Gerald,
thank you again
in meanwhile, I've tried specifying repo as in 'yum --enablerepo..', perhaps I din't do it correctly as got errors, BUT, following your advise/link, disabling r-p-p, now I see:

thanks again! (I should've read the install screen properly in the first place, and, should've noticed I was installing NOT from dovecot...)
just thinking... now that I installed OK, should I revert the priority protection to '1', if I don't, will it bite me elsewhere, any thought ?
I've never used it. When you install/update, yum shows which repository the package belongs to. This has been sufficient so far.
https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities / 7. A Cautionary Note:
# Note: The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about # 'yum priorities' in September 2009
# Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about # priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of # apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl.
# The primary concern is that priorities is heavy handed over removing packages # from the transaction set. It makes it difficult to readily determine what packages # are being ignored and why. Even so, it is very flexible and can be extremely useful # to provide the largest available list of packages.
Best regards Gerald
