Maybe there is something wrong with his local yum/repo configuration. CentOS 7 usually doesn't mix 32bit and 64bit packages anymore.

Installiert: 2:dovecot-2.3.5-1.x86_64 (Installiert = installed) -> dovecot-2.3.5-1 is already installed as a 64bit package (this is an epoch 2 package that supersedes 2.2.36-3, which is epoch 1).

Benötigt: dovecot = 2:2.3.5.1-1  (Benötigt = this is the required version that should be installed)

Verfügbar: 1:dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.i686 (base) (Verfügbar = this version is available) -> but this is epoch 1 and i686, although dovecot-2.3.5-1.x86_64 has already been installed.

Therefore my guess is that the dovecot-2.3-latest repo is not available/enabled on his side.

Best regards
Gerald
