Good question... And the answer is that I don't know it :D
Of course for the mail you can group them by thread, like any mail 
client does, but for Telepathy it is different because we don't have 
threads or similar. Another problem is that sometimes I start a 
conversation with someone with skype, then I switch to jabber, then one 
goes offline and the conversation continues by e-mail.
We will have to come out with a very clever solution and write some 
paper about it, but in the meanwhile we can split on a daily base, or 
using some other solution based on the time between messages.

P.S. I just had this very clever idea! We could search for i18n("Hello") 
in the log and have a greetings based clustering of messages! :D
