Yes, just tested it with today's release. Works fine here.

Sure, some suggestions:

- Make sure the install directory from the configure/autogen summary
  states 2 things:

  1. You're building the evolution plugin.
  2. You're installing to the right location.

  It should look something like this:

    Data Miners:

        Applications:          yes (MeeGo support: no  (disabled))
        RSS:                   yes
        Evolution:             yes (/usr/lib/evolution/2.30/plugins)
        Flickr:                yes

  Otherwise see, --enable-miner-evolution & --with-evolution-plugin-dir

- Make sure the plugin is actually enabled in Evolution. Edit->Plugins,
  see the Tracker plugin in the list and enable if it is not already
  checked.

- Watch progress using tracker-status -fd, this will show you exactly
  what is going on. e.g.:

    â     E-mails                 - Processing folder Inbox
    5  %  E-mails                 - Processing folder Inbox
    10 %  E-mails                 - Processing folder Inbox
    ...
    92 %  E-mails                 - Processing folder Inbox
    97 %  E-mails                 - Processing folder Inbox
    â     E-mails                 - Processing folder Inbox

- During indexing or after done, try the tracker-search -e command
  line, e.g.:

  $ tracker-search -d -e "ANNOUNCE: Tracker" -l 2
  E-mails:
    2009-09-23T11:07:48Z, ANNOUNCE: tracker 0.6.95-19maemo1 released 
(email://1276261635 1774 1 petunia/Sent?uid=668)
    2009-09-29T14:07:10Z, ANNOUNCE: tracker 0.6.95-20maemo1 released 
(email://1276261635 1774 1 petunia/Sent?uid=699)

  ...

Hope this helps.
