Or more to the point, just make more aggressive use of IMAP's built-in
capabilities to have multiple different folders. Each one should be a
separate directory, and then you won't have lots of messages in the same
directory.
I have somewhere in the range of a couple hundred incoming folders
(actually nnml groups in Gnus), one for each mailing list, role address,
or personal mailbox I have, and only keep in those inboxes things that I
actively need to respond to; other stuff gets moved off to long-term
storage mailboxes.
