Seems like a server bug -- or at least not Evo itself. AFAIK Evo never
sends complete mails back to the IMAP serve and the server is
responsible for the mail moving.


However, a missing F from the From line sounds familiar. Are you using
procmail?

Here is the procmail recipe, to add that F if dropped, including the
suspected reason...

# Work around procmail bug: any output on stderr will cause the "F" in
# "From" to be dropped.  This will re-add it.
