What is a conversation?

Any attempt to establish an instant messaging conversation is considered a conversation and causes an item to be stored in the Outlook Conversation History folder. For example, if you send an instant message to someone that does not respond, the conversation item is still recorded in the Conversation History folder. Further, if you answer an IM invitation or you are part of an IM conference, the item is stored in the Outlook Conversation History folder.
