SUMMARY When creating an mbox mail resource (eg. to monitor the system mail spool in /var/mail), the Display Name field indicates that this string will be used to identify the resource in displays. However, when appearing in KMail, Kontact, or in Akonadi Console, the string "akonadi_mbox_resource_N" is used instead. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create mbox resource by any means (eg KMail create receiving mail account) 2. specify a valid mbox to watch (ie /var/mail/username) 3. Enter a discriptive string in Display Name OBSERVED RESULT Any listing of akonadi mail resources will will display akonadi_mbox_resource_X instead of the string entered in Display Name. EXPECTED RESULT The DisplayName QString should be used to identify the resource.

Created attachment 130401 [details] extra mbox in folder list This shows the double listing of the added mbox
I can confirm this, but after attempting to modify the mbox, it appeared under its proper name along with the akonadi_mbox_resource_N name, which is inoperable (clicking on the folder shows no messages.)
(In reply to P Stemish from comment #1) > Created attachment 130401 [details] > extra mbox in folder list > > This shows the double listing of the added mbox I also experienced the duplicated mbox entry, although for me they both were named with the akonadi_resource name, and neither appeared to be functional.
