I fear you've been looking in the wrong direction, Tracker does
implement Evolution email indexing as an evolution plugin, it must be
compiled (distros don't usually do though) and activated under the
Edit/Plugins menu option in evolution.

FTR, tracker-miner-fs will skip by default hidden files/directories at
the time of recursing across the filesystem, but it will index any
configured directory you tell it to index, (within a) hidden folder or
not.

What happens here is that tracker-miner-fs indexes the *files* that are
in there, and how Evolution stores its information internally is
meaningless to tracker-miner-fs.
