The mbox From_ line doesn't support a full email address.  It supposed 
to be the bare envelope sender (just the portion between <> in your 
example).  UW-IMAP is not following the standards (as much as mbox 
format has a standard); Dovecot is following the mbox standard (and it 
should take all of a minute to write a Perl script to fix up those lines).
