Well, if you are willing to read the docs and setup something that is somewhat more complicated, you can use Cyrus.
It isn't that bad, really :)
It indexes everything (read the manpages on squat), and it can handle folders with 30000+ messages easily. IF your IMAP client does not die a messly death with so many messages, that is :-)
Oh, and it supports server-side searches and threading.
Cyrus: Also uses message per file storage, have some indexes, but I don't think these indexes are used for searching
See the squat indexer, it is included in the Debian packages. Just make sure to run squat often to update the indexes...
Ahhh! I forgot about the squatter, yeah with that you get the body indexes if you want ot search on teh bodies of messages. There are some scripts to 'continuously' run squatter (really a set of cron scripts that cause it to run for about a minute or so then continue on...getting started and stopped every few minutes)
But as I said in my previous post, all the other indexes are maintained, and newer versions also maintain a 'threading' index that smarter IMAP clients will take advantage of (Evolution, mulberry....not sure of what others, probably PINE heh)
