Well, if you are willing to read the docs and setup something that is
somewhat more complicated, you can use Cyrus.
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.

See the squat indexer, it is included in the Debian packages. Just make
sure to run squat often to update the indexes...
