You have dovecot 1.2.17 installed, and dovecot is split up into two 
ports /usr/ports/mail/dovecot and /usr/ports/mail/dovecot2
What you need to do is remove the first port, or replace the port. They 
both install dovecot with the same files hense the error message

They install files into the same place.


first method :
# pkg_delete  dovecot-1.2.17  or pkg delete dovecot-1.2.17 if you use pkgng
# cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot2
# make install clean

second method needs portmaster .
# portmaster -o mail/dovecot2 mail/dovecot

This will deinstall dovecot and reinstall dovecot2

Be aware that dovecot 2.x  differs a lot from dovecot 1.x, so be 
prepared to update the config files.
So do not think you will be done within 10 minutes.
