IMP does not send the message correctly in case of specially given sender
name.
In this case when the message is sent via sendmail, the MAIL FROM envelope
value is wrong:

Nov 22 15:29:16 server3 postfix/pickup[25672]: 14DDC3625D0: uid=33
from=<@>

The envelope address is missing somehow, and despite the message is sent
by IMP (via sendmail) it bounces back from many cases because of the
invalid sender syntax. And here no error message can be delivered to <@>,
so the user thinks it's all right.

I can reproduce the issue:
The "Your full name" personal settings must be changed.
A short name is not enough, fails with longer names only.
Needs accented letters.
1. 'UnaccentedWord Andras AnotherUnaccentedWord' works in order.
2. 'UnaccentedWord András AnotherUnaccentedWord' works in order also.
3. 'UnaccentedWord András AccentedWordá' fails.

Fails means seamingly sent, goes into the Sent folder, but those addresses
don't receive it where sender address syntax check works.

It seems to me that the Base64 enconding of the sender can be the guilty
somehow.
If the name contains no accented letters it works wathever long it is.
But if it contains accented letters in the last words, it fails.

Anyway I manually can send the failing messages with 'sendmail -oi -t'
from the Sent mail folder, and they work in order, the sender is
recognized well.
But when IMP sent them, the above "<@>" issue comes.

I can reproduce it on another webmail server, but that uses the same
Horde/IMP setup, and the sendmail binary is the same from Postfix 2.3.3.

I hope I wrote to the right place.
And thank you very much for your efforts to create and develop such a nice
piece of software like IMP or the whole Horde project.

Regards,
Andras Galos
