You can't.

Doing a count(distinct x) is much different than a count(1), which can simply scan available indexes. To build a distinct, it has to construct an in-memory hash of every valid email, and count the distinct values therein. This will pretty much never be fast, especially with 2M rows involved.

I could be wrong about this, and the back-end folks might have a different answer, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
