We have a special type of agents for usacase like this - we call it 
"resource". Resource is a special type of agent which provide access to a 
remote storage (like IMAP server, POP3 server, etc).

Resources are all the kdepim-runtime repository, in the /resources folder.

There is a nice tutorial it the techbase wiki about writing Akonadi resources:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Akonadi/Resources.

The interface for interaction with Akonadi server is documented here:
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/index.html

And of course feel free to ask here or on #akonadi IRC channel.
