As I understand it, this makes the mbox format of dovecot slightly incompatible with other mbox-capable clients, because if they read the data files directly, they may understand a line starting with an unescaped 'From ' as the start of a new message. Right ?
Just for the record, I found this page, http://homepages.tesco.net/~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html which explains the multiple mbox formats available. I was not aware of this before. Finally, Maildir is the solution...
Maybe. I got this Content-Length: idea originally from mutt which also uses (used? don't know) Content-Length: instead of From-escaping.
Described in the above page as "The mboxcl2 mailbox format".
Pretty much yes, except Dovecot is able to handle missing or broken Content-Length: headers.
