It depends on what the "folder with mails" looks like.  If it's one file
per message, you might be able to create another folder containing a
bunch of symlinks to your original folder and fool mairix into treating
it like MH.  If each file contains multiple messages, how are the
messages separated?  Is there a line starting "From " between each pair?
If so, each file is an mbox and you can get mairix to index them as
mboxes.

mairix doesn't support indexing some arbitrary bunch of files.  It has
to assume they have some type of standard email structure to them,
otherwise it has no way to know which messages the matches belong to
when searching.
