You can't move anything into a smart mailbox as it is populated by the conditions you give it such as "All emails from [email protected]". The thread feature works in a smart mailbox but as I don't use Google mail I'm not sure how they fit into the scheme of things.
I have several catch all mailboxes into which I move my emails and then use smart mailboxes to show me unread emails this week, emails today, emails from certain people or in a certain address book groups or combinations thereof - it's very flexible. If you are running Lion then both kinds of mailboxes can be dropped into the toolbar and you can just drag emails into standard mailboxes to file them which is very handy for frequently used mailboxes.
