Even if users in a conversation change the subject the original
ConversationTopic will remain the same. That's how Outlook can show the By
Conversation view.
Neither ConversationTopic nor ConversationIndex are at all the same as
EntryID.
ConversationTopic can be used in a filter or restriction on the Items
collection of a folder, so you can filter items in that Items collection by
that property. If items are scattered in different folders you would have to
repeat that in each of those folders.
An alternative approach would be to use an AdvancedSearch and set up a
search string for that ConversationTopic. That can be set to run on any
arbitrary set of folders and to return a unified set of results from all the
target folders.

Thanks Ken, I think conversation topic is the same as subject which is not
gonna be helpful because users change the subject when they reply.
I tested with conversationIndex here is the result
Original email recived
01C9D89635023F68E01D8F084ACD84E660C598661781

As you mentioned each time we reply it adds a string to the previous
string
, how ever the only part which remains constant is the original string up
to
…781 and after that text changes . I send these data to Excel for some
reporting purposes and I think I can find connection between them possibly
by
using instr()
I have three questions.
1)You mentiones the addition string to the original conversationindex has
datetime structure , can we somehow use them? Like retrieve a date from it
?
2)Is conversationindex same as EntryId?
3)Assuming I have a conversationindex how can I find that specific email
among hundreds of emails in my inbox and display it?
