Hi Rafaela,
You need to be on the horizontal splitter, and you need to double click with
your VO cursor on the splitter. I'll paste in part of one of my very old
archived list posts:
<begin quote>
To remove the preview pane in the Mail application
1. Navigate (e.g. with VO-Right arrow) past the "Messages Table" to
where you hear "Horizontal Splitter".
2. Route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5
3. Double-click on the splitter either using VO-Shift-Space or by
pressing your physical mouse key or trackpad key twice quickly. To
double click with VO-Shift-Space, hold down your Control, Option, and
Shift keys then tap the space bar twice quickly. You should also be
able to double-click by quickly pressing the "5" key twice on a
numeric keypad with Numpad Commander enabled (only in Leopard or Snow
Leopard, not Tiger).
Anne has mentioned that using VO-Shift-Space doesn't always work as a
substitute for clicking or double-clicking, while clicking with mouse
or trackpad (or by using the Numpad Commander option) will work. This
can true for some applications with transitioning accessibility, but
I've always found it to work in commonly used applications like mail.
The two clicks must be close together. If you click once, the system
expects that you will be issuing commands to move the splitter (e.g.
by interacting with it and using your arrow keys). The second click
tells it that you do not want to adjust it, but to drop it all the
way. Note that you will never be able to do this if such an action
hides an essential window that means you cannot effectively use the
app. I can move splitters with double-click to remove informational
windows in Automator; I can't remove any windows that are essential to
my using the application.

Hi Teresa,
I put the mouse and the vo cursor on the vertical splitter, then tried a vo
shift space to clic the mouse. Nothing happened so I turned off trackpad
commander and clicked the actual mouse. Nothing happened either. What am I
missing? am I supposed to interact with it or do something else after?
thanks,
Rafaela,

Hi, Rafaela,
Ensure that VO and the mouse pointer are on the horizontal splitter between the
list of messages and the preview pane. Use your actual mouse to double-click it.
