This feels like a ½ step forward in a process that has 20 or more steps. It feels like inno wants to build an email client into the game but doesn't know how to do that.
The changes are almost entire visual, wasting more space and requiring more clicks but other than the filters doesn't add any new functionality or make the message center any easier to use, overall. I'm hard pressed to understand the reasoning behind this change at this time or the amount of attention inno gave it, nor the delay. I can only imaging how bad it was before the delay to have gotten this after it.
Those categories on the left side: why can't I make my own and move conversations to them? Tie this to filters so each custom filter I make has its own tab if I want rather than digging into several tabs to locate items.
Scrolling: it's 2020 why are we still doing paged scrolling in messages lists? Just let us scroll endlessly and load in the background. I know it's possible, literally every search engine out there does it.
Guild tab: why is there no way to promote an existing conversation to a guild conversation? They all have to be re-build, loosing message history.
Filters: Why are we emulating twitter, or whatever, with # in front of filters? Theres zero need and zero functionality added with the number sign in front. Filters are searches, they are clearly defined in the UI and there's no need for any additional callouts with the prefix.
leave/mark: Why are these options STILL directly next to each other with the similar looking alerts? The number of times I've seen a guild member accidentally leave all threads instead of marking them as read is pretty high. It's a UI disaster that has lingered too long. Change the location and the behavior of the "leave all" option.
So much of this game is so good that it's hard to believe that something so mediocre has come out of the development group.
