Hi Alex,

I am no expert on the IMAP resource so ervin might have a different opinion=
 on=20
this.

We may need a way for the agent manager to tell a resource when it is start=
ing=20
for the first time.
On first startup missing our confguration is expected so it should not resu=
lt=20
in an error. Any further startup without configuration probably should.

Have you determined why it tries to connect to the server? E.g. is it alway=
s=20
doing that or is it reacting to some request by Akonadi?

IMHO that would just hide the problem and would have to be implemented=20
similarily in all displays of agent status. I.e. not a good idea.

Idle but also offline should be OK I guess.

This is IMHO the best option for the long run. Basically all resources can =
get=20
into that situation (they all usually are on first startup) and having a=20
separate state for it would all all clients to treat it separately.

My take would be to do this for 4.8 and (3) for master (4.9).
