One of the reasons that I think the threading is done serverside is this
excerpt from the imapd config file

############### From impad ######################

Set this option if you want to disable all the extra load from
# server-side threading and sorting.  Not advertising those capabilities
# will simply result in the clients reading the entire folder, and
sorting
# it on the client side.  That will still put some load on the server.
# advertising these capabilities, but rejecting the commands, will stop
this
# silliness.
#

IMAP_DISABLETHREADSORT=0

################################################

Also, I used to use pop3 on the same account with same client(ximian
evolution) and the threading seemed to be different.
