Yes, but not you've learned much about profiling and debugging
elisp. ;-)

I'd definitively drop a mail to the admins.  Searching for a message-id
is quite a common task, so that should be as fast as possible.  And I'm
pretty sure Courier has some option to index at least the message-ids.

I used at least Dovecot and Cyrus IMAP servers, and both support such a
feature.  I'd really wonder if Courier didn't support that.
