You don't need to uninstall mutt :p In a console (by the gods I
hate GUI tools) :
rpm -e --nodeps postfix && rpm -Uvh /path/to/your/sendmail*.rpm
But, I must ask *why* you would want to replace postfix with sendmail.
Postfix is easier to configure, smarter, and has fewer security
problems.
As far as the mutt issue is concerned, you must have, at some point,
done an install instead of an upgrade on it and thus gave it multiple
entries. When you do decide to uninstall the <PLUG>greatest mail
client for linux</PLUG>, once again there is a command line option
that will fix you right up :P
rpm -e --allmatches mutt
