Exchange made quite a few database changes in both 2007 RTM and 2007 SP1 that help the server-side situation. It's a safe bet that the Exchange team isn't done.
The client, i.e. Outlook, needs work. Different team. That being said, I know that they are getting a lot of input on this topic. Regards, Michael B.

This has been bothersome aspect for a few years now since the introduction of search folders instead of sub folders, but we cant have all items in the inbox without some sort of archival process to negate performance issues. The Exchange team really needs to get on the ball with this. Especially with the dependence of mobile platforms that dont handle sub foldering well.
