I'm a bit new on Kubuntu and havent mastered completely the 
apt-get/adept/aptitude/synaptic stuff (was using "YAST" and binaries before)

I know it isn't wise to alternate between synaptic and adept (although both 
are graphical layers for apt-get) so I try to stick with adept.
(I'm not sure what happens when you alternate between apt-get and adept.)
I also read that integration of gnome programs in kde made progress, meaning
some programs may no work or not perfectly (hope I got it right so far).
That explains why, having no problem finding dovecot with Synaptic but failing 
using adept_installer, I took that as an indication dovecot was intentionally 
not included in what adept-installer offered.

Your comment makes me belive I have not enabled the same repos for adept as 
for synaptic (right?) (I still have to find out how, I may have to do some 
homework first  ;-)    )

I can't remeber where I downloaded it from, and don't know where (or if) my 
computer kept a trace of that. Do you belive I should take any action beside 
removing that program and searching for all the executable files associated 
with the date of that installation?
BTW I'm not paranoid about my personal computer (it only contains part of my 
life), but I don't mind learnig skills that would be necessary in a more 
stringent environment and I belive it is my duty not letting my computer 
being turned into some sort of bot.

Thanks a lot, I don't insist on doing it the hard way, won't have time tomorow 
but will attempt to "upgrade" myself and install the binary on wednesday.
