[Kde-pim] change IMAP server address

[Romain]

Hi,

I've been hit with a weird issue this morning : my company made the
'unfortunate' choice a few years ago to switch from Gmail to Office365...
this morning there were some DNS resolution issues with
outlook.office365.com not responding.
I noticed outlook-emeasouth.office365.com was working much better. I
changed the server address in the KMail / akonadi IMAP resource config but
it seems kmail did not like this at all. the resource was still there in
the akonadi console but KMail did not show it and could not access/view any
mails from KMail. Even reverting to outlook.office365.com, rebooting,
etc... did not work either.

I therefore had to remove the resource entirely and now it's doing a new
full sync from  the server, which is annoying because it contains thousands
and thousands of emails from way back, but it's done it in the past without
problems so i'll let it complete.

Are you aware of this behaviour ? is it "allowed" / expected to be able to
change the IMAP server address ? wondering if akonadi does not use the
server address as an identifier somewhere and would get confused if it gets
changed.

Thanks for letting me know!
Cheers,
Romain.
