Gmail doesn't use folders. It tags each message with 0 or more labels
(slightly similar to Evo's vfolders except AFAIK they don't update
dynamically). Messages are stored in Google's database and viewing sets
of them is essentially a database View, selecting on the labels. I think
the conversation concept is very useful BTW, and I've often thought it
would a nice feature in other MUAs.
