+1, I think I can even add this to the 1.12 branch.


However, the actual restriction in ServerManager in pimlibs is that we require 
that there's at least one agent of type Resource. The comment says "besides 
the running server processes we also need at least one resource to be 
operational". I'm wondering where does this restriction come from? I found it 
was added by Volker in 7158d80a, but the commit message is not very 
explanatory either :-)

In my opinion, such check should not be in the client libraries: if Akonadi is 
not operational without Resources (which is not true), then this restriction 
should be implemented in the Akonadi server itself and not here.

It is completely fine to have a warning in the Self Test dialog, because for 
most people this will mean that Akonadi will be useless, but having this in 
the client libraries imposes unneeded restrictions on use IMO.
