what is your ubuntu version ?
and the ubuntu distro update way normally is apt-get dist-upgrade to the
latest then
with the upcoming karmic release ( a few days left) you will get the
latest stable ( in ubuntu eyes ) dovecot version

but you can also use auto builds with latest patches
( i use them on hardy )
apt will choose the right 64 version auto for you

v1.1

For Dovecot v1.1 the following line needs to be added to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main

And if you would like to get the source packages, you should add:

deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main

v1.2

For Dovecot v1.2 the following line needs to be added to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main

And if you would like to get the source packages, you should add:

deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main


as i wrote i use this on ubuntu hardy with dovecot 1.2
( i think it was sqlite version ) but for one unresolved you need
additional add
the unstable debian rep

like

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

cause the packs were build on a squeeze  ( debian testing ) sys i think
as long you have no unresolved deps you should have no problems with
mixing ( i dont have them in hardy )

you might dont need this with higher versions then hardy like intrepid
jaunty karmic

you might also download the packs with wget
and use dpkg -i ....deb
