I am no expert regarding akonadi. So I'm not sure this covers all kinds of 
resources and interaction with clients. But for email it sounds sensible to me 
since there is no email without folder.

If I understood Volker correctly introducing the communication of a unique id 
to identify the database needs a lot of code changes. Your proposal not. So I 
guess that means we have a winner. :-)
