Steps to reproduce:

I like the left/right arrows on the left side of the Correspondents list. But they don't stand out enough to be useful (take too much time to look at carefully to decipher). I'd like to suggest that they be color-coded -- red and blue, for example. Then, if you're looking for something FROM someone, you can just look for the red arrows (or whatever). Too hard to differentiate between the two now. Thanks!
That's been discussed in bug 1266126 and on tb-planning:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/tb-planning/2016-April/date.html, topic "Help decide the UI for the Correspondents columns".
Yes, we only show the arrow for outgoing messages. Like this it's easy to differentiate between incoming/outgoing. With TB 52, which is out in two or three weeks, you will get the new behavior.
