[Dovecot] Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file (dovecot 1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5)

[FiL @ Kpoxa]

Update:
 The error occurs only if the first message in the mailbox has "wrong" 
 From line.
 If the first "From" is fine, then the mailbox is accessible, but the 
messages with
"bad" "From" line are not separated from the previous "good" messages.

 Again, this is something that changed since 0.99.13.
