Description Peter Nunn 2011-08-16 22:50:53 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

I am using disconnected IMAP with Kontact and am mobile with the laptop quite a lot.

When I move outside the office I have to change the address of the mail server which has never caused any problems with kmail until now.  Now, whenever I change the IP address, I get an error message from Akonadi about the folders not being available and the cache is cleared completely and re-loaded.

This isn't an issue in the office, but off site it certainly is.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the options page and change the server ip address or host name.

Actual Results:  
Arkonadi error message about missing folders, then the cache clears.  I have to restart Kontact to see any folders and then they are all empty and reload from scratch.

Expected Results:  
Nothing happens.

The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.
Comment 2 Christian Mollekopf 2013-11-19 16:18:50 UTC
Currently the host address is used as unique identifier, as I'm not aware of a unique identifier of the imap server itself.
If there is one available we could use it instead, otherwise this will not be fixed.
