Description Andre Heinecke 2011-04-20 11:03:59 UTC

Version:           4.6 (using Devel) 
OS:                MS Windows

If you have akonadi running and lock your session on Windows allowing another user to log in while your processes are still alive or if you try to use akonadi on a server with multiple users several problems occur:

If the second user does not have read access on the first users home folder Akonadi startup crashes for the second user.

If the second user has access to the first users home directory a second akonadiserver starts and Kontact is able to show the imap ressource of the first user but is not showing the first users smtp ressource.
In akonadiconsole only the ressources of the second user are shown.


There is more debugging on this necessary and i do not have a backtrace of the crash because of running a release build.

Reproducible: Always

Fix akonadi multiuser on Windows

    When two users tried to start an akonadiserver on Windows
    the default NamedPipe conflicted causing akonadi to crash.

    With this patch the NamedPipe will include the Windows Username
    to avoid such conflicts.

    Tested to work with Spaces and special characters in the Username.
