A web-based mail client (not server!) with a backend optimized for search queries. I get hundreds of mails per day and often I have to check whether something was discussed in some thread, in the last couple of years, or more. Thunderbird explodes, Outlook seems better, but it forces me to run Windows on my desktop and laptop. GMail is actually great, but it would be immoral in too many different ways to flush all the emails I receive into Google. Colleagues reported Apple Mail is good, but I have no direct experience.
