you can't install it yet because dovecot-2.3.4-2.x86_64 is not shown, probably due to the priority protection plugin:

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:
yum install dovecot dovecot-devel dovecot-mysql dovecot-pigeonhole

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
