Don't forget that you can have multiple imap folders.
I keep a lot of old emails just in case I need to refer to them later. I use pine, and I've noticed that it gets slower as my inbox gets bigger. It would be unusable if I kept everything in my inbox. To speed things up I create a new imap folder once a month and move my inbox to it, thus cleaning out my inbox.
Maybe you should encourage your users to do something like that. Even if you go to a different imap implementation, having smaller folders might help keep things quick. You could automate the process with scripts that move the folders at scheduled dates, or with scripts that run periodically and warn you about users with exceptionally large folders.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
