I use Recoll for desktop search, and while I don't often search mail I find
that results from my Mail folder are usually included in results for other
searches I do. It's not difficult to configure, you can set it to include or
ignore certain directories or subdirectories. I also have it scheduled to
update the index at 10:00am every morning, rather than having it index
whenever new articles (or whatever) is added. It's also possible to set it to
index when you do a manual request, but I find once a day works fine for me.

Here's information from "About recoll" on Debian Wheezy:

Recoll 1.17.3 + Xapian 1.2.12
