It sounds like search needs a patch bounty, but it would be ridiculous to rewrite Thunderbird because search is naively implemented.

I've never had problems with IMAP, nor do I use Exchange, so I can't speak to those...

And thankfully, there's a Lucene-in-C (which I haven't personally had a need to use, but Lucene as a project is awesome), so the patch might not even be terribly large unless their current search implementation is splattered all over the app
