Did not know Akonadi used Solid internally, I thought it tried to not depend 
on KDE libs.

Actually, the Solid solution solves this problem only for the cases Solid 
knows about the connection change. If for instance, there is a route change 
(not sure this would actually disconnect, but you get the idea) and the IMAP 
connection gets broken (Solid doesn't know about it), then it is the 
connection  timeout default that matters. If I understood the OP of the bug 
correctly, then his problem is exactly this : there is no change in the system 
"connected" status, but his interface changed. I think this behaviour might be 
replicated by having two network devices on one PC, and switching the active 
one. AFAIK this can't be solved using Solid right now.
