Hello Frank, In Mavericks, double-clicking on the splitter no longer works. You have to hold down the physical mouse and drag the splitter to the bottom if it’s a horizontal splitter, or to the far right if it’s a vertical splitter. If you’re in Classic view, it will be the horizontal splitter which has to be dragged to the bottom.
I tried interacting with the splitter to move it to the bottom, but it would get stuck part way down and Mail would become busy and no longer respond, so the only solution seems to be to drag it with the mouse or trackpad. If you have a Magic Trackpad for your iMac, press down with one finger and stroke downwards with another to drag the splitter.
