getAll is your friend:

table.getAll([key, key2...], [, {index:'id'}]) → selection

Assuming that you have a compound key index, something like:

r.db('emails')
    .table('emails')
    .indexCreate('conversation', [r.row('from'), r.row('to')])

you can easily get all emails:

r.db('emails')
    .table('emails')
    .getAll(['some@email', 'someemail'], {index: 'conversation'})

For example, having the following dataset

r.db('emails')
    .table('emails')
    .insert([
        {from: 'foo@mail', to: 'bar@mail', text: 'Hi Bar!'},
        {from: 'bar@mail', to: 'foo@mail', text: 'Hi Foo!'},
        {from: 'foo@mail', to: 'bar@mail', text: 'Bye Bar!'},
        {from: 'bar@mail', to: 'foo@mail', text: 'Bye Foo!'}
    ])

that's queried with the following query

r.db('emails')
   .table('emails')
   .getAll(['foo@mail', 'bar@mail'], {index: 'conversation'})
   .pluck('text')

will produce:

[
    {"text": "Bye Bar!"},
    {"text": "Hi Bar!"}
]

(The order above is undefined.)
