The integration of Akonadi/Nepomuk in KMail will bring indexing of local 
mail. Indexing of mail on an IMAP server is impossible without 
downloading all of the mail. For online IMAP downloading everything 
doesn't really make much sense. Also, IMAP does support server-side 
searching, so that indexing the mail locally is not really necessary. 
Of course, it depends on the actual server how powerful/fast the 
server-side search is.
