I agree with Laurent that power users need to be able to tweak their 
configuration to their liking. (I also have multiple IMAP accounts, but I use 
a single SMTP account for everything. Unless I want to use a second SMTP 
account. ;-) ) I also agree that it makes sense to protect normal users from 
messing up their configuration.

Possible solution:
* The end user applications (Kontact, what else?, should KMail stay user 
visible or should we hide it from the end user?) provide only end user 
friendly configuration dialogs.
* The power user configuration is "hidden" in akonadiconsole or some other 
power user tool.

So, all we have to do is: Replace the account configuration dialogs in 
Kontact/KMail (which are essentially the Akonadi resource configuration 
dialogs) with end user friendly configuration dialogs.

Ingo
