We can't keep everything in RAM. Short information for the current folder is 
kept in RAM. On the other hand if you have enough RAM it should be kept in 
your disc cache which results in the same.
Do you know a mail client that is faster on this as KMail?

Not that many KMail users remove their index files frequently so this is not 
top priority, but some improvement might be possible.
