This is actually what it is already doing, however, there seems to be 
something else which can trigger a re-indexing.

I've experienence the same issue for a while, i.e. it didn't do that for as 
long as I can remember, then (probably after an update) kept reindexing on 
every startup but then (probably again after an update) returned to quick 
startup.

Unfortunately I am not even sure if either of the two transitions happend at a 
KMail update, it could have been when updating any other system component, 
e.g. kernel, libc, whatever.

Cheers,
Kevin
