Finding things in email

At work we're being encouraged to clean up our mail. So I just got a copy of stuff that perhaps should be saved:

% du -hs .
 551M	.

I have another ~800M at home. How should I find content in this mine of precious data? (Thunderbird's okay, but the search interface is still frustrating harder to use than Google's.)

Most of it is work mail, hence I hesitate to upload it all to my Gmail account just to have it appropriately indexed. But that's the sort of search interface I want.
