--- Comment #1 from Niels van Mourik <niels@shodan.nl> ---
Totally agreeing here that this dialogue creates a daily amount of irritation
and the - data integrity focused - attempt at preserving data is very humble
but different compared to other e-mail and PIM solutions.

I would therefore opt that Akonadi gets automatic conflict resolution picking
whatever option it seems best, even duplicating records with "BACKUP" in a
title is usually less obtrusive then a blocking dialog in front of the user.

My attempt here is to raise awareness on the fact that Akonadi is a - very
beautiful - piece of tech but that it facilitates the user indirectly and not
directly - e.g. Kmail has a direct relationship with the user. The less visible
Akonadi and it's logo's are to the end user, the better as it gives them the
"it all just works" impression.
