cron problems are normally caused by a difference in the environment 
between an interactive shell and a shell started by cron (normally 
having almost no environment to start with).  If your environment 
requires a particular PATH setting or LD_LIBRARY_PATH or some other 
setting, you need to set that in the script that is called by cron.

The program appears to be looping forever printing what is probably an 
error message.  Since you don't have that error message, it is hard to 
say what the problem is.  Maybe your script that calls imapfilter should 
redirect the output to a file that you can locate to see what the 
problem is.
