What would be the point for an email reader intended for use by a person?
The description of the issue states, very clearly and concisely, that removing the client's IMAP account configuration, and re-adding the same IMAP account, fixes their problem.
Upon reconnecting, opening the same folder – that you believe took too long to open before – won't be any faster. It will actually be even slower, since the client sees a completely new IMAP account that the client has never seen before, so whatever caching the client did of server's data is completely gone. It will download the folder's contents again.
Sorry, but any kind of indexing, once again, would not've made any difference, whatsoever. Quickly searching for something in a folder with hundreds of thousands of messages is of very little help if the mere existence of hundreds of thousands messages makes the client croak. It's a buggy client.
