The problem, as other people have mentioned, is that the IMAP server
does not provide the From line.  I don't know if this is a limitation
of the particular servers or perhaps even a limitation of IMAP.

You could pipe the message through the following on the way to filter
which requires the From line:

    formail -I "From " -a "From "

This is from the procmailex man-page.
