Akonadi Baloo Indexer, KMail 5.3.1 and Akonadi 5.1 together means you have a 
really broken installation of KDE PIM and mixed up all kinds of versions that 
don't really work together.

First, make sure you have all latest packages of KMail, Akonadi and all other 
PIM applications you use. Also make sure your kdepim-runtime package is up to 
date (15.x.x or 16.x.x). Also find which package provides the obsolete /usr/
bin/akonadi_baloo_indexer file and remove/upgrade that package - it will 
probably be called something like akonadi-baloo, while the new one you want is 
akonadi-search.
