I've two accounts in Mail.app. Both have a mailbox titled Conversation History. I didn't create them, and there has never been anything in either.
What are they for? Presumably they are "smart" in some way.

I have no such mailboxes. Are these, perhaps, mailboxes in your
accounts?
What are they for? Presumably they are "smart" in some way.
the various "smart" mailboxes can be accessed via the "Edit" menu (top
right of the mailbox sidebar) and are:
VIP, All Inboxes, Unread, To or CC, Flagged, Attachments, Today, Thread Notifications, Muted Threads, All Drafts, All Sent, All trash, and All Archives.
What sorts of accounts are these? Maybe it's a gmail thing? (I have a
gmail account, but not on my iPad/iPhone).

IIRC, that's a Microsoft feature. Did you access these mail accounts
with a Microsoft product in the past?

No, never. But both are Microsoft accounts, one is Outlook and the other is Exchange.
I'd still like to know what they are supposed to be for, and if I can
safely delete them (assuming they're not locked in)

One is Outlook, one is Exchange. Both come under the Microsoft flag.

I think JR has covered this.
I will add that chances are very good that 1) you will not be able to
delete these folders or if you do delete them 2) they will come back.

It's still a Microsoft feature. Take it up with them.

Messages you receive from others while you are away in Skype for
Business appear there, which may or may not be useful to you. At least
that's how it has worked for me in the past while working for
corporations that use both Exchange, Outlook, and Skype for Business. It
wouldn't surprise me if other Microsoft apps also integrate with it. I
haven't ever bothered to look into it further.
I have no idea what will happen if you try to delete them, but if they
are empty, I can't see the harm.
The Outlook one is gone, but I cannot delete the Exchange one - it won't let me. Not surprised, "They" control more and more of what we cn do. Hence the sig.

I would never sign in to an Exchange server on my own device as it gives
far too much access and permission to the dunderheads running the
Exchange server. If I have to use Exchange, it has to be on their
hardware (which I will also not sign in to any personal account of any
kind).

That's a Microsoft feature (typically associated with Outlook) that was
used to store Skype/Teams/etc messages you received while you were away.
It's possible these accounts were previously used in Outlook.

Thank you. I think I can safely ignore them!
I have used Skype inthe past, but not Teams, Skype seems to be obsolete - does
it still exist?
