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:

Complete! [root@c7 ~]# dovecot --version 2.3.4.1 (3c0b8769e)
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 ?
