UpLib has email indexing via Lucene, and an email crawler for IMAP that can easily be adapted to GMail (I've done it for my gmail accounts). It also does message threading, splits off attachments and indexes them as separate documents (as well as being attachments to the email), and a few other things, like providing an IMAP server for access to the indexed mailboxes, as well as the standard Web interface. It does not have excerpt or phrase highlighting in the way that you suggest, though. No need to convert the emails to XML (though UpLib does do that internally to create a rendering of each email message).
