OK, the IMAP problem is totally solved, I didn't know Thunderbird needed 
you to specify which folders you'd like it to read... I haven't solved 
the address book problem yet because Evolution doesn't seem to have a 
way to export all the contacts, so I'll try recompiling both Evolution 
and Thunderbird with ldap enabled...

Thanks a lot,
Abraham
