Client shows null Sender & date
I'm using Postfix and Dovecot 2.0.19 and Virtual domains & users (mysql). Incoming mail is handled by Postfix and then handed off to Dovecot LMTP for delivery. However, the Sender and Date are essentially null when viewing the email with either the POP3 or IMAP client. The logs (below) show this. I changed the sender and recipient addresses for privacy.
Jan 23 08:41:48 klsrv postfix/smtpd[10836]: 1F907F00276: client=unknown[10.0.0.19] Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/cleanup[10842]: 1F907F00276: message-id=<> Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/qmgr[4889]: 1F907F00276: from=sender@example.com, size=217, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv dovecot: lmtp(10845): Connect from local Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv dovecot: lmtp(10845, recipient@example.net): wvU2Gq9PwlRdKgAAjuDoqw: subject=test to client: from=: msgid=unspecified: status=saved mail to INBOX: Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/lmtp[10844]: 1F907F00276: to=recipient@example.net, relay=klsrv.airhop.net[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=28, delays=28/0.01/0.01/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 recipient@example.net wvU2Gq9PwlRdKgAAjuDoqw Saved) Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv dovecot: lmtp(10845): Disconnect from local: Client quit (in reset) Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/qmgr[4889]: 1F907F00276: removed
You can see that Postfix accepts the incoming mail (from sender@example.com) and then the message is handed to Dovecot LMTP. But the from=: should be "from=sender@example.com:".
Postfix / qmgr has the sender listed (from=sender@example.com) but no sender (from=) is seen in LMTP log output. My LMTP is setup to use UNIX sockets, not the INET socket.
Any help is appreciated.

Where is your Postfix conf, one can comment on?
The message-id is empty or absent, did you _verified_, that the message contains "From" and "Date" headers at all? I guess it does not contain them either. So, no client can display missing information. Postfix's "from" is the envelope from, that is storred in the Return-Path header in the message the client retrieves.

you need to understand e-mail basics
what you see in the postfix logs is the *envelope sender* what you miss in the message is the non-existent To-HEADER
