For IMAP folders, at least, this appears to be a bug. Tracker creates the text_x-email folder with a few e-mail specific columns set. See https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/tracker/TrackerInitialState.cpp#n650 .
However, they're written BE and when Tracker tries to load the column attribute it doesn't fully understand how to convert it to LE. The _trk/columns attribute is destroyed and a default _trk/columns_le attribute is written.
Once that's fixed, then it shouldn't be hard too add in the right logic to copy attributes as needed.

Precursor work to fixing this is in https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/6213 .
mail_daemon could set the column attributes of the "in" and "out" folders when the user chooses the "destination" folder in the mail_deamon settings. Maybe check if those folders have already set mail related column attributes, because the user may have customized their view already and we shouldn't overwrite that.
I don't see how it could be done within Tracker as any folder could be an email folder...
