            Bug ID: 359990
           Summary: IMAP Hostname change clears disconnected cache
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: GIT (master)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: IMAP resource
          Assignee: chrigi_1 at fastmail.fm

I'm currently having to resync several gigabytes of mail because the hostname
of my imap server changed.

This was surprising and had I known this I would have just changed the DNS
entry for the server. Isn't there a better way to figure out this is a new
server?

Or can the user be asked "Should this be treated as a different account?" I'm
not sure what would happen though if it's really a different account and the
user says no to that question. Probably nothing good ;-)

I think the trigger for this (or the place for a warning) would be in
ImapResouce::onConfigurationDone but I might misreading the code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change hostname of server in imap account
2. Apply settings


Expected Results:  
At the very least a warning.
