Although it's hard to be sure without EXPLAIN ANALYZE output, it seems
like an index on threads(mailbox_id) might help here. You have a bunch
of other indexes on threads that are useless for this query :-( ...
I hope they are some good for other queries, else they're just slowing
down updates.
Also a larger value of sort_mem might help. At least by the planner's
estimates, the other big hit is the use of a merge join between emails
and threads. I think a hash join would work better, but it's not going
to pick that unless the inner relation will fit in sort_mem.
