Yes an offline tool is very useful. My personal solution is to have all mails in an IMAP folder 
and use the KMail search on them (still need to integrate better with Nepomuk). This works 
for most things pretty well, faster and more reliable than the bko search. Another improved 
search is of course using google.

But having a real offline tool would be really great. I often thought about starting a 
KBugBuster2, but no time for it :-(
