Very much agreed, FWIW.

I also regularly run into scenarios where data is not synchronized to the 
server, probably because the IMAP resource has some hickup. 

Those items then have a local, but no remote ID, which means they have not 
actually been pushed to the server, and Akonadi has no recovery from this 
fairly common [*] scenario, it seems.

Because objects without remote ID are not something Akonadi believes in, it 
then seems to get massively confused by their existing, causing things to go 
wrong further until corrected by manual intervention.

I suspect that fixing this will also be somewhere in the same realm you're now 
looking at - and helping with recovery from such scenarios is likely to be a 
great contribution to Akonadi as a whole. :)

Best regards,
Georg
