What are those boxes and what is the meaning of the different letters?

Those "color chips" are shown when the sender has no contact entry with an image in the device's contacts app.

The color is assigned randomly but is always the same for each address.

The letter is just the first letter of the sender's name (if present) or email.

Sorry, I must be slow after Christmas, so could you please explain what that means, and what it's use is.

Thanks

It is more a design thing. Besides that it is also the way the Gmail app and the stock android email app do this.

Instead of showing an empty space it is showing a colored box with the first letter of the sender in it. If the sender is known and stored in your contacts with a photo, that photo is shown.

Hello,

maybe a good new Feature, but I would prefer to have the old design. Because I have lot of buisness contacts
which won't have personal pictures. So, all the time I have to see this big letters. Any possibility to shut down this Feature?

@erikS, have you looked in the app's settings under Message list?
