Review request for KDEPIM and Kevin Krammer.

Repository: kdepim-runtime


Description
-------

An mbox resource with file watching only makes sense when some other program changes that mbox file.
Why would one else want to watch for file changes ?

The current situation always throws an error message (or multiple) to the user whenever the mbox resource detects
that the mbox file was changed - which is expected.

Also, currently a "backup file" was written, obviously to avoid "data loss" - but that implementation never worked
as the backup file was truncated to 0-bytes. Nevertheless, the backup file would be useless, even if written
correctly, and would just fill up the disk, as no normal user would know what to do with that file -
especially as it gets written _every time_ a new mail arrives.

This patch does:
- When file watching is enabled, avoid to write the backup file.
- do not complain that the file was changed from an external program when the baseclass detects a changed hash
  (this was called twice). The baseclass already emits a warning when it does the backup
