Usually the user is not interested in a thread anymore once he has read 
all messages in a thread. Therefore only threads containing unread or 
(optionally) important messages are expanded by default. With respect 
to this, remembering the open/closed state of threads makes no sense.

IIRC then e.g. for the date Outlook creates the 
groups "Today", "Yesterday", "Monday", ..., "Last Week", "Last 
Month", "Older" (or similar). So there are not that many groups.

I'll check what it does for grouping by sender, etc.
