First, sort your mail into sensible subfolder organization, if only by year or month, etc. Use server-side filtering to make this automatic. Second, make sure you actually *need* that many messages - most people don't and should be deleting most of them. Third, if you must load/sort/search that volume of message, webmail is not for you - try Thunderbird or just log into the server and learn how to use your IMAP server directly.
