Package source and revision of kontact-touch and kdelibs?

I'm away from my test setups right now, I would expect you to be able 
to do this at least with akonadiconsole (you know how to set it remotely I 
guess).

I don't know without code inspection.

No this would not be a save detection method.
A contacts folder only can have contacts types (distribution list and 
contacts) in it. So you would need to parse them all and check if they are 
wellformed.

Yes, I agree.

This could a possible way. However the question might come to often for 
non-calender folders that happen to contain one object or so. Overall I would 
prefer a more robust detection method.

Okay, then it is just a matter to execute the method and show its result
to the user.
