Yes. Just like the new one contact per file based address book which std.vcf 
got migrated to quite some time ago.

I completely moved to it and it appears to work reliable here.

Only thing is as I had the old calender still as a resource which I 
deactivated, is that it sometimes got activated again. Thus I removed the old 
single file based resource completely now and just use the icaldir one.

Hmmm, okay. It looks a bit awkward in Akonadiconsole cause its the only 
resource here with its original technical name "akonadi_icaldir_resource_0" – 
thats why I asked.
