1. If you want to only see the conversations that are – 

a. Unassigned 

b. Assigned to you 

c. Have been marked as Spam


You can do so by clicking on the All Button on the left-hand side of your Inbox. Once you select the desired Inbox Filter View, you click on it and the Inbox view will change accordingly.

In the example below, we have selected Spam as the inbox view filter, however, we have not marked any customers/chats as spam so there are no such conversations available.
