            Bug ID: 375843
           Summary: names of akonadi resources in kwallet makes sharing
                    wallets difficult
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.2.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: m at reaktanz.de
  Target Milestone: ---

as soon as you configure an IMAP resource, it ends up in kwallet named
"akonadi_imap_resource_Xrc", where "X" is a number and numbers increase for
each additional account.

now, i'm trying to use a shared (k)wallet on two machines running kmail2. the
problem is that mail accounts were configured in a different order, so the
numbers don't match and re-entering passwords effectively overwrites the
entries of the other machine. there doesn't seem to be an easy way of renaming
the akonadi resources, is there? actually, it would be really helpful if you
could just rename those resources to your liking, that would solve the problem.
but that would probably involve delicate changes to akonadi (similar requests
date back to 2009 at least, e.g. #208188).

this gets even more problematic when some, but not all accounts are being used
on both machines (e.g., using A and B one machine 1, but C and A on machine 2).
then it's not even possible to solve the issue by deleting all IMAP accounts
and reconfiguring them in the correct order again (and then reconfiguring
folder settings, identities and filter targets...). in effect, this makes
sharing wallets between machines extremely difficult, if not impossible, as
soon as you're trying to use kmail with a slighly different IMAP configuration.

for the time being, it would be a good-enough workaround if you could define a
designated wallet for kmail. that is, kmail wouldn't necessarily store its
passwords in the default wallet, but a configurable one.
