This is what I do myself, I always have threads collapsed and the index is "thread sorted", however I have to say that not all services from which I receive email thread the messages properly, most notably GitHub will not thread messages and instead messages are sorted in the order they come, not in the order they really should have. I even emailed their team a while ago, and they explained this is not something they could change :( If I'm understanding correctly, this sort of problem would be fixed with a "conversation view", so I would find this feature very useful as well!
