The error is simply telling you that indexing is not active, try in

System Settings -> Desktop Search -> Nepomuk/Strigi Server Configuration -> 
check "Enable  Nepomuk Semantic Desktop" and "Enable Email Indexer"

The crazy thing is that the migration won't work without this enabled, yet the 
process isn't aborted if this mandatory part of it is absent/not running...
