I have 25k messages in "all mails" and no performance problems. Why do
you have 30k mails in you inbox? Have you ever considered labels? I
defined some labels that help me sorting my mails. Mails that are in
my inbox are mails that I still want to answer or that I haven't read
yet. By now these are 33 mails. All other mails are having labels.

Do you ever have considered using thunderbird? I'm using gmail with
apple mail, thunderbird and entourage. Thunderbird is the fastest.
Entourage is the slowest. Maybe entourage and exchange are using the
same codebasis? (Both are made by Microsoft)
