2     3           2              msg_2
4     2           3              msg_4
5     2           3              msg_5

SELECT  m.*
FROM    mytable m
WHERE   id = ( SELECT   MAX(id)
           FROM     mytable
           WHERE    ( sender_id = m.sender_Id
                      OR recipient_id = m.sender_id
                    )
                    AND ( recipient_id = m.recipient_Id
                          OR sender_id = m.recipient_id
                        )
         )
