This item is done in a different way:

When trackerd notices the summary file has changed (or does the initial
files processing), notifies the indexer. 

The indexer, which is the one aware of the actual file contents,
iterates through the messages, and the mail module will return NULL
metadata for any junk/deleted email, making tracker-indexer delete
anything in the DBs/index related to these mails.
