What about evolution ibex then?
Or thunderbird's gloda [1] (yes, it does include message bodies)


Not that I like them, though. Personally, I prefer to pay the IO/CPU
penalty when performing searches (almost always restricted to an email
subtree) than paying the space one duplicating the account data in a
search index.

But I understand that fulltext indexing everything suits other people's
workflow.
