Flushing doesn't happen when the status message is printed. It is done
once a minute as I recall. Also, you can't use the index until the index
is closed by the indexer (which is usually when it finishes OR I *think*
when a request comes in to the daemon).

This option is not honoured then. I do it one of 2 ways right now. Either:

1. trackerd -d evolution
2. DisabledModules=evolution;

The IndexEvolutionEmails option must have been overlooked.
Can I ask, have you tried removing your config file too?

I will look into working on an upgrade path to fix this on Monday.

Well, I have tried in 2 different locations and Phillip has tried to
reproduce your issues too. It works for us :/

Email is a special case, it isn't a 1 file = 1 index increment because
there are parts of emails which can be considered unique units to index.
Other than that I have noticed this and we can improve on it.

Which file are you checking for indexed words?
