The problem is that this is a different kind of resource.
Basically there are two things that are call resources (and also similar in 
what the do):

- KResource plugins, i.e. modules for KDE PIM applications to access data from 
different locations

- Akonadi resources, i.e. helper processes for Akonadi so it can access data 
from different locations

The applications currently only support the first ones and are only slowly 
moving towards using Akonadi.

There is a kind of adapter available, a KResource plugin called "Akonadi", 
which will allow to indirectly access data provided by Akonadi resources.

Cheers,
Kevin
