A communication system can create a conversation identifier (ID) for a logical IM conversation. The conversation ID can identify messages that are associated with the same IM conversation. The associated IM messages can be stored in an archive for later use. When a SIP session ends but an IM conversation continues, a SIP server can rebuild the IM conversation with messages retrieved with the conversation ID. Further, an IM conversation can be restarted on a different IM client by retrieving messages from the archive associated with the previously established conversation ID. Thus, the conversation ID ensures that an IM conversation does not end due to system changes or reconfigurations in IM clients.
