it does not reindex - it merely marks as deleted the emails registered
as junk

it should be a lot quicker than every 15 secs (unless you are on a slow
NFS) and should not take more than a minutes or two to do

it could be your email db is corrupted - can you let me know size of
files in ~/.cache/tracker
