Just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to edgy instead of dapper, install the packages, then change back your sources.list.
You could also use APT pinning (or whatever it's called) to select some packages from edgy. I'm not sure how good of an idea that is. If nothing else, you could "apt-get source dovecot" (assuming the source package is "dovecot") from edgy and then rebuild on Dapper.
apt-pinning works perfectly well. Here is a good tutorial for Debian, which should apply 100% (except release names) to Ubuntu.
