Yep, I'm using Tracker. But Tracker for Lenny still lacks Icedove 
integration so I have to use Icedove embedded search, which is fine but 
so basic. And I need to keep Icedove because of its hmtl support. Another 
option is Evolution but always found it too much resource consuming and 
bloated.

I would like to see Icedove supporting both, mbox and maildir :-)
