Description Christoph Thielecke 2019-12-16 13:59:14 UTC

I have the problem found, when I adding a new maildir ressource for a maildir located in my home directory (e.g. ~/MailStore/Account2), the ressource will added but no mails are shown in ressource.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy maildir to home dir somewhere (e.g. ~/MailStore/Account2)
2. create new maildir ressource for the maildir copied (e.g. ~/MailStore/Account2)

OBSERVED RESULT
The ressource is added but its shown empty (no mail or folder).

A interesting thing is, that sometimes it works when I let create it on desired location (e.g. ~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_2). When that works fine, remove the created directory and replace the folder by a symbolic link to the desired maildir it found the mails and folders.

Also, I can't rename the resource name (I guess it takes the name from folder but that seem to work only on creation.

EXPECTED RESULT
The ressource is added and it shows contents (mails and folders).

[resources/maildir] Reload configuraton on configuration change

Summary:
When user adds new maildir, a new resource gets created, with the default
directory `~/.local/share/local-mail`. Since it's a new resource, with no
proper configuration, an `attemptConfigRestoring()` is called, which changes
it to `~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource#`. It's stored inside
`mSettings->path()`.

Then a dialog appears, where user can choose prefered directory. It gets
written to the config file; then `configurationChanged` gets called.
We call `mSettings->save()`, which overwrites the path provided by user with
the default one (`~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource#`), making it
impossible to create a new maildir anywhere else.

Just use `load()` instead, it makes more sense when configuration was changed.
Related: bug 416287, bug 415922

Test Plan:
1) Create a new maildir resource pointing to `/tmp/dummy`.
2) The resource gets created, with the name `dummy`. `/tmp/dummy` gets created.
2) Drop some mails into it via KMail. Mails appear inside `/tmp/dummy`
