Time and Excerpt should be of last post

Nice suggestion, though this type of query will be expensive, i will try to find a better way to achieve this functionality without loosing performance. May be next version i will be able to add this functionality.

if you have free version of this plugin (users can send msg ONLY to one user), here is the workaround:
2 functions that change user displayed on the list from the author of the first message to user receiving the message, so you will always see with who you are talking:

function fep_cus_fep_participants() {
	$meta = get_post_meta(get_the_ID()); // get meta of the msg
	$remove = array(get_current_user_id()); // get current user (you)
	$meta['_participants'] = array_values(array_diff($meta['_participants'],$remove)); // remove current user from participants, so only receiver will be in array, then reset keys
	$user = get_userdata($meta['_participants'][0]); // obtain receiver ID
	echo '<span class="fep-message-author">'.$user->display_name.'</span><span class="fep-message-date">'.get_the_time().'</span>';
}
add_action("fep_message_table_column_content_author", 'fep_cus_fep_participants',999);

function fep_cus_fep_participants_avatar() {
	$meta = get_post_meta(get_the_ID()); // get meta of the msg
	$remove = array(get_current_user_id()); // get current user (you)
	$meta['_participants'] = array_values(array_diff($meta['_participants'],$remove)); // remove current user from participants, so only receiver will be in array, then reset keys
	$user = get_userdata($meta['_participants'][0]); // obtain receiver ID
	echo get_avatar( $user->ID, 55 );
}
add_action("fep_message_table_column_content_avatar", 'fep_cus_fep_participants_avatar',999);

And this one will change the first message to last in conversation in messages list:

function fep_cus_fep_title() {
	if( ! fep_is_read( true ) ) {
		$span = '<span class="fep-unread-classp"><span class="fep-unread-class">' .__("Unread", "front-end-pm"). '</span></span>';
		$class = ' fep-strong';

	} else {
		$span = '';
		$class = '';
	} 
	$p = get_posts(array('post_type'=>'fep_message','post_status'=>'publish','numberposts'=>1,'post_parent'=>get_the_ID()));
	?><span class="<?php echo $class; ?>"><a href="<?php 
	echo fep_query_url('viewmessage', array('id'=> get_the_ID()));
	if(!empty($p)) {
		$id = $p[0]->ID; 
		$ad_au = get_user_by('ID',$p[0]->post_author);
		if($p[0]->post_author!=get_current_user_id()) 
			$add_author = '<strong>'.$ad_au->display_name.':</strong> '; // this will display author of last message if it's not you (something is not quite right in this one, i haven't tested it much)
	} else {
		$id = get_the_ID();
	}
	setup_postdata($id);
	?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></span><?php echo $span; ?><div class="fep-message-excerpt"><?php echo $add_author.fep_get_the_excerpt(100); ?></div><?php
}
add_action("fep_message_table_column_content_title", 'fep_cus_fep_title',999);

Hope it helps, you should be able to get it working simply by putting it in your functions.php
