That's odd.  Do you have write access to the directory?  Are there any
errors in the logs?

Beagle has to recrawl the mail files to make sure there haven't been any
changes since it last checked.  It's probably just crawling the mail
files, not reindexing them.  Unfortunately Evolution's data files makes
this an expensive operation, which is something they are fixing for 2.4
I believe.
