I think the problem with nepomuk and using it for search purposes in general 
is as follows. It only finds what it has indexed. So if one has nepomuk + 
strigi enabled and starts a file/content search in dolphin it does not find 
files in folders which are not indexed. Same for kmail I guess. Nepomuk does 
not add content to the classic search, it subtracts everything not indexed. So 
even if you only want to search for a file name in a local git clone of KDE's 
sources it will not be found unless you index those sources – which IMHO does 
not make sense resources-wise. It's plain confusing that one gets less results 
when nepomuk is enabled unless one gives it unlimited resources to index 
everything. Especially since nepomuk's features and performance as a dekstop 
search are far away from state of the art.

What about adding a tab to kmail's settings with checkboxes for the folder-
tree?

BTW: If indexing for a local mail folder is enabled via systemsettings and 
akonadi feeds its folders into nepomuk as well, does that data end-up 
duplicated in nepomuk or is nepomuk smart enough to recognise that the files 
are the same?
