There may be some temporary problems when upgrading, but they should all
sort themselves out after one relogin..

Did Dovecot's log files say anything then? It shouldn't be possible that
it only shows the oldest email. If it doesn't detect the separators it
then shows the whole mbox as a single mail (caching IMAP clients could
show the old first message's cached message body though). If that
happens, do 'grep "^From " mbox' and email me the results and I'll fix
the problem.
