*) Could you please show us output of command "yum repolist"?
*) iRedMail has Dovecot-2.0.21 in its own yum repo, do you have it enabled? http://www.iredmail.org/yum/rpms/6/

Yes I have the iRedmail repo enabled. When I did the update it pulled in one dovecot file but that was all.. File shown below:
Jun 18 11:32:38 mail yum[28344]: Updated: 2:dovecot-managesieve-0.2.6-22.el6.i686
[EDIT] Ok, yum priorities for iRedMail repo is set lower to CentOS base, thus excluding the other Dovecot packages from the iRedMail repo. Whilst I can change the priority for the iRedMail repo, this tends to go against the whole reason for priorities in the first place. The base repos get the highest priority and all 3rd party repos get a lower priority, thus preventing conflicts and maintaining security. Any suggestions on how to get around this ?
