            Bug ID: 296944
          Severity: critical
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org, vkrause at kde.org

           Summary: Possible data loss if the destination folder doesn't
                    exists
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: afiestas at kde.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
         Component: Contacts resource
           Product: Akonadi

If for some reason (like what seems a bug in the distribution) the destination
folder does not exists, KaddressBook (and the resource) will allow the creation
of contacts and they will be stored in the akonadi cache.

Akonadi won't be able to synchronize the data since the folder does not exits
in case that something happens to the mysql databse (or in case that we change
to another database) we will suffer data loss :/

Maybe we should turn the resource offline in case that the folder does not
exists or force the user to select another folder.
