If you can’t tell the difference here, the updated UI brings together the buttons for Mail, Interview, Spaces, and Chat into a single list at the top of the left bar instead of showing multiple conversations from each one in the list.

And if you just want to have a certain form of on-screen communication without the others (like Gmail), doing that is a little easier because chat and the rest aren’t listed under your inbox and labels anymore.
