example of akonadi sync failure after reboot

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have four imap accounts set in akonadi and I get tons of emails each day on
each mailbox, so I always suspect something is aloof when ... I don't get any
email for an extended period.

Each time this happens, I fire up akonadiconsole, and, lo and behold, while I
am evidently connected to outside world, some or all of my imap resources
"Failed to connect to server" (see attached screenshots). A simple "akonadictl
restart" solves the problem, and 10 seconds later, my imap resources are
syncing again.

This problem usually happens when I resume from suspend or when I reboot. This
might be related to the resources not being able to sync during the time it
takes for my laptop to connect to my wifi network.

So I have two comments, besides congratulating the PIM team for such a great
job:

1) If this is a network problem at startup, akonadi should realise after 2
hours that my laptop is connected...

2) There should be a way to set up notifications when a resource is not
syncing. I don't think my mom would have the idea firing up akonadiconsole
after not receiving any email in a few days :-( For instance, the kmail tray
icon could be crossed or something. That would be really helpful, as well as
providing a "restart akonadi attached to it"...

Besides that, everything works very well now, so thanks for the good work, dear
devs!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
reboot or resume from suspend to disk

Actual Results:  
imap resources silently not syncing

Expected Results:  
imap resources should sync at set intervals
