There have been several reports that dovecot doesn't work because the
update configuration file is different, but is installed as
/etc/dovecot.conf.rpmnew. If you backup /etc/dovecot.conf to a
different name, rename /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmnew to /etc/dovecot.conf
and re-enter your config details into the new config file, you may
well find the updated dovecot works for you. And if not, then it's
bugzilla time :)
