Can you provide a list of most commonly used IMAP commands (by common clients such as Outlook) and their parameters? IMHO we should take into consideration most common commands in order to achieve a performant implementation: we cannot simply index EVERY message property or split the message in hundreds of parts, but we could treat most accessed fields with caching and separate storage. "NO" is the answer for NO results or is defined by the RFC that should be used when a search is too complex?
