There is indeed a KCM for generic resource managemen, but the problem is in "generic" - you don't want to see IMAP resources in KAdressbook configurationc :). AFAIK KCModules are not very transparent to clients, so I don't know whether it is possible for client to manually apply mime-type filter after the module is loaded?

One thing I could do is to make a widget in kdepimlibs that would have the search field, the Add/Modify/Remove (maybe Restart) buttons and the agents view and a simple API for clients to just set the mimetype filter - looking in KDE PIM, atm all clients assemble the widget themselves, each slightly differently :)

> A tab for adding Akonadi resources is in KMail, KOrganizer, Akregator and other Akonadi apps, so users would expect the same tab to be available in KAdressbook - this patch creates a new KCM module that adds "General" tab to KAddressbook with UI for adding, configuring and removing agents, like in the other mentioned apps.
