There is no easy fix for this, my plan was actually to disable the "is not in 
addressbook" fitler :(
The problem involves sub event loops in the filtering code which confuses the 
POP3 code due to reentrancy issues, not that straightforward to fix (and 
frankly, I have not enough time to look at it).
So yes, please add a note to KBBDB.

Thomas
