The "Resource Hogs" button is at the bottom of the "Predefined Locations" list where you selected "Mail".

I would think that some large binary data (attachments) are being indexed as plain text. What is your macOS version? Can you copy and paste the following command in a Terminal window, then paste back the result?

mdimport -L

Either reboot your Mac, or press the command and option keys while launching FoxTrot; then check the "Force-quit agents" checkbox.

"FoxTrot is way better and faster than Spotlight and seriously more
usable. With around 200000 docs on my 60Gig drive, using Spotlight
is just hopeless.
Searches with FoxTrot are just instantaneous and you can view them in
all sorts of ways. The preview is just wonderful."
