What does this error message mean

It looks to me like a probably issue in your IMAP server or Evolution.  For 
some reason your e-mail addresses only have the localpart and not the entire 
address.  Note that there are several places where a full e-mail address 
would be expected:

> From: Mail Delivery System <MAILER-DAEMON at wadesmart>
> X-Evolution-Source: imap://wadesmart@localhost/

I don't know where Courier or Evolution log stuff (I don't use either), but 
I'd look in the logs for errors.  I don't think your problem is from within 
Postfix (which is the only piece you are using that I know anything about).
