Inbox turnover is high, and the way in which they work requires the mail clients (Outlook in this case for the most part) to only download a set number (or time period) of emails. For example, each mail client would want 3000, or 30days worth of emails in their client at any one time.

Exim is the wrong place to think about a solution. Any IMAP/POP3 Server
is the wrong place for it to.
The client may behave like this, but don't expect common clients to do
so, as your request is somehow strange.
Just code a simple webmail client to behave like this. Should be done in
a day.
