It indexed everything nicely and is very quick. I can't seem to get attachments out of my retrieved emails. So the one I'm looking for right now has an attached .pdf, but the whole mail, headers and mime text and all, displays as ascii text. I can use recoll's 'open' command, which fires up thunderbird and shows the attachment with an automatically generated name (gibberish, more or less) but when I try to save then view the attachment gedit is showing me the ascii. I vaguely recall years ago having to manually detach mime-encoded text but don't remember details. Anyone?
