Did you try my AppleScript? I want to make sure it works for others. Pasted
below for quicker reference.
use AppleMail : application id "com.apple.mail"
activate AppleMail
repeat with vw in message viewers
close vw's window
end repeat
set mywin to make new message viewer without preview pane is visible
Best wishes,
Jonathan
