Recently tackled this problem and creating a folder for a thread seems
quite simple: Find out the message-id of the message which started the
treat and use a filter folder:

,----
| /message-id:<parent>|in-reply-to:<parent>|reference:<parent>/<folder>
`----

Such a virtual folder *should* find all messages that belong to a
threat. Cannot say how fast such a search will be for a huge mailbox
but using such a folder on, let's say: debian-users mailinglist with
appr. 10k of messages in may local imap mailbox is fast enought.
