You can access your messages by clicking “Inbox” from the top bar of your Hub dashboard. On the left side of your inbox, you'll find categories for your conversations, including all messages, messages assigned to you, unassigned messages, and messages sorted by the corresponding listing for which a query was made.
You can also sort conversations in each category by “All recent”, “Unread”, or “Archived” using the dropdown menu at the top of the conversation list sidebar. Additionally, the sorting feature is accompanied by a search function for finding any message from your conversations with the use of keywords!
