Hi, 1. Go into Mail Prefs and select the Viewing pane. 2. Check to change to Classic View. 3. Close Mail Prefs. 4. Navigate to the Horizontal Splitter after the Messages Table. 5. Press VO-cmd-f5 to make sure the mouse is focused on the Splitter. 6. Press down on the Trackpad then drag downwards to the bottom of the physical Trackpad.
You will know that it worked because the splitter will no longer be right after the Messages Table, it will be the last item at the bottom of the window. 7. Change back into Modern View in the Mail Prefs by unchecking the box. 8. Close the Mail Prefs. You will know that the Preview Pane is closed/hidden/disabled by navigating around the Mail window and you will note a Vertical Splitter before and after the Messages Column Group. If it’s not sticking for you, try quitting Mail after getting rid of the Preview Pane in Classic view. Once you re-open Mail, you can change back to the Modern View and the change should stick. At least it has for me numerous times.
