thunderbird-1.5 Version 1.5 (20051201)

When filtering with "From address is in my AddressBook xxx" doesn't work on IMAP inbox. When i copy the e-mails from this IMAP inbox to a local folder and run the exact same filter with the exact same addressbook on the exact same messages there it works correctly!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create extra folder in my IMAP account (for example called: ORANGE)
2. Create a filter "From address is in Addressbook xxx" Action: "Move to folder ORANGE". The filter looks like this:

name="ORANGE"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="imap://lucent@192.168.1.1/ORANGE"
condition="OR (from,is in ab,moz-abmdbdirectory://abook-2.mab)" 

3. Have messages in the IMAP inbox.
4. Have the same messages (copy them) in a LOCAL folder.
5. Run the filter on the IMAP inbox. Result: Nothing happens!
6. Run the filter on the local folder. Result: All matching messages are moved to the IMAP folder ORANGE.

Other sources confirmed that there are no problems with pop3...? So it seems just IMAP related.
Actual Results:  
No messages are filtered

Expected Results:  
Messages should be filtered
