This is one of the things that seems to work exceptionally well for me given what things like Outlook do
I have used 5.3 GB of my gmail allowance I have 84000 emails 30 labels I also get an external pop3 based email into my gmail along with regular gmail. Its fast, it searches quickly the external pop3 also used to go into outlook. Outlook struggles a lot more with it. Now I use thunderbird for the pop3 email. and gmail is still faster at searching email. Thunderbird is definitely snappier than outlook (not as pretty and has some awkward usability). I have a bunch of attachments in quite a lot of my email... no idea why you have such a different experience with it!
