If speed's your limit and if you don't mind terminal (curses), I can vouch
for mutt (as john doe). In my case: 38k mails in one mailbox and I don't
hesitate to search through the mail *bodies* if necessary -- it works
reasonably fast. Bulk marking and copying to other "folders" etc is speedy.

There are some variations (Debian has a neomutt one) with some more eye
candy.
