What do you mean indexing? If you copied the mails and pointed the Local 
folders (maildir agent) to them and issued a sync,  it could take a while, 
but that is more a magnitued of (tens of) minutes, not hours or days.
While this is done, you can't read mail that were not put in the cache.

If you talk about nepomuk indexing for search, that could take much more, 
but you can access the mails.
