In summary, there are several email clients, such as Thunderbird, Outlook, and Mac Mail, that allow for a "conversation" style display of emails. This means that emails can be sorted by thread, making it easier to view and organize them. The sorting can be done with just a few mouse clicks, and there is also an add-on available for Thunderbird that allows for internal sorting by date.

Is there a client that allows the "conversation" style display of emails like on Gmail?

Do you mean sorting e-mails by thread? If so, you're in luck! If you use Thunderbird, Outlook (Express), Mac Mail (and probably a bunch of others) you can do this with a few mouse clicks:

EDIT: If you're using Thunderbird, see comments in the above site about internally sorting the threads by date. Also, if you go to the linked add-on, and read the comments there, you can find out how to do it without having to install the add-on.
