A Search folder could approximate a conversation, but that is really
messy. It is also the same as having just a single folder for ALL
messages.

The beauty of conversations is that you can keep your extended folder
tree, but messages in any of those folders, if part of a thread, will
be displayed as a conversation without having to move them to a common
folder.
