With Squat, yes. With Solr everything is in the same index.

I think with a virtual mailbox containing "all mailboxes" Squat also  
creates a single index for it. Solr is also optimized for virtual  
mailboxes, it won't even duplicate indexes for them.

I'm not very happy with Squat in general. The index updating speed is  
way too slow. Needs a redesign some day.. Nowadays Cyrus can also do  
incremental Squat indexing, I guess I should see how they're doing  
it. :)
