It may be a problem with the newly rewritten imap client code. When you
go to Edit/Preferences, what protocol do you have selected for your
account? If it's imap4, that's the new code. It's threading capabilities
aren't as good as the older "imap" code. 

If this is the case for you, just select your account, click "Edit",
select the "Receiving Email" tab, Select IMAP from the "Server Type"
dropdown. Then just click OK and Close. Threading should work better.

There's also a "subject-based threading" feature that threads when other
techniques fail. You can disable it to see if that's what's threading
your messages for you. It's in the "Mail Preferences."  and it's
selectable with the "Fall back to threading messages by subject"
checkbox.
