Views
By default, Mail's main Viewer window displays an optional sidebar, a vertical list of mes-
sages including brief excerpts, and a preview pane on the right showing the contents of the
selected message.
If you prefer, you can switch to what Mail calls the “classic” layout (
Figure 6
), which puts the
preview pane at the bottom instead of on the right, and presents the message list as a sortable
table, but without excerpts. To use the classic layout, go to Mail > Preferences > Viewing and
select Use Classic Layout.
