Do you mean you have no "From:" headers at all in mails, only "From>"?
That'd most likely show all your mails as having no sender, so you
probably mean you have both? Or is the "From>" the mbox's From_-line?

Anyway, Dovecot is less strict than Cyrus in accepting broken headers,
so maybe the mail was just added by some IMAP client?
