	I tried to reproduce your steps. I have removed kolab resource and 
addressbook and added them after. I do not see any kolab contacts from imap 
folder in addressbook.
	Interesting fact. In "KDE address boot (traditional)" resource I see
----8<-----------------------
status: online, running (0%)
status message: Loading address book
----8<-----------------------
	I think it's strange. KMail uses contacts from IMAP folder well.
