In single user mode you can use cmdline update/remove.  I'm not sure what 
the rpm commands are but just do the same cmdline stuff as with X running 
etc, only straight from the terminal.  Not exactly sure how much cruft 
linux loads in single user mode but one would hope that it's a small 
enough footprint that Dovecot isn't loaded.

I'm starting to get a different idea about what you meant though, you 
can't remove Dovecot because you want it always running?  In that case 
remove then upgrade then reinstall.  If it's a conflict on your upgrade 
path you shouldn't expect to be able to keep it running during an 
upgrade.  You should consider a different upgrade path in that case.
