Some locations are completely inaccessible to applications, for security reasons, even when granting them "full disk access" (e.g. some folders in the hidden folder /private/var). FoxTrot is not supposed to report an error when trying to index these folders, but it seems that something has changed in macOS 11.4. We will fix this in the next release.
The error message you get should indicate the list of folders that can't be accessed, and if you granted "full disk access", this list should not include your Mail folder nor other legitimate locations.
Thanks for the report
