Yes that's precisely my problem, I have about 1GB of email (tens of
thousands of files - Maildir format), and having that replicated is a lot :)

What do you mean by cache clean itself? Evolution cleans the cache after
a while (like erases mails from cache that aren't viewed for a long time)?

If beagle had indexed all cached emails and then they disappear from
cache but beagle can still search for it, that would be ok for me...

But I would need to first somehow make evolution fetch all messages from
IMAP server and put them in cache... Ideas for this?
