            Bug ID: 360834
           Summary: no mechanism to reattempt to store items without rid
                    (just in db) into the resource
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: Martin at Lichtvoll.de

It can happen (see bug #339181) that akonadictl reports an item without rid.
Dan explains regarding it:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those are Items (emails, events, contacts, ...) that you created locally but
were not synced to the server. 

Unfortunately we don't have a mechanism at this moment to force Akonadi to try
to sync those Items again to the server. If you wipe your Akonadi database,
those Items will be lost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That means there will be a data loss in case the database is wiped or
corrupted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See description of Ingo in 339181#c13 (bug 339181, comment 13 in case bugzilla
doesn´t make this into a link).

Actual Results:  
Data remains in database. In case db is wiped our corrupted data is gone.

Expected Results:  
- Akonadi attempts to store the item where it belongs, in the resource, again
at least for several times

- User agent warns about this where needed and gives option to retry pushing to
server at a later time.

I am leaving it as normal, as it *usually* doesn´t loose data, yet, I think the
issue has some higher priority than that.
