Purpose
Previously, renaming an address book (= address book account) resulted in all local contacts being dropped and re-synced.
However, contacts (and groups) should be kept when an address book account is renamed so that there are as little possibilities for errors as possible. For instance, at re-sync the server could be not available or there could be (temporary) problems with specific contacts which would not appear without re-sync etc.
Short description
Instead of renaming the account with
AccountManager.renameAccount()
