Filtering maildir mail is done via a filter on regular file indexing. If the 
file is identified to be message/rfc822 (you can check this with 
gnomevfs-info) it passed through the FilterMail filter and indexed.

My experience has been as follows: so far I haven't been able to see the 
indexed files in the results (either best or beagle-query) but I haven't 
investigated enough to see where the problem is - according to the logs the 
file is indeed indexed, and according to beagle-index-info the indexed file 
count grows (notice Maildir is marked by the backend as "file" and not 
"mail).

If you can check this out and let me know what you find that would be great - 
Maildir support is extremely important to me and I would like to give the 
beagle developers as much accurate information as I can regarding bugs in 
this feature.
