I find it easiest to do this in full-screen mode, command-control F for Mail. Turn mouse keys on. Switch to classic view in Mail preferences. You can use vO to place the mouse. Just navigate to the message table, but don’t interact with it. VO-right once and you should reach the horizontal splitter. Press control-VO-f5 to place the mouse there. Press the zero/insert key on the numpad once to lock the mouse down, then press and hold the six/right-arrow key on the numpad till you hear VO’s focus changing. this can take several seconds. Then press the period/delete key on the numpad to release the mouse. Double-check to be sure the horizontal splitter and preview pane are gone. At this point, you can switch back to modern view in Mail preferences if you wish.
