Apologies in advance if this question is covered elsewhere; I searched but did not find anything.
I am diving in headfirst in switching from WinXP to Linux (Dell Inspiron 1420N, Ubuntu pre-loaded, running Kubuntu). I was already using Thunderbird in XP, but want to switch to using Kontact in Kubuntu.
My first observation/question regarding KMail involves the message preview pane: do any menu commands or keyboard shortcuts exist to show/hide the preview pane? Both Thunderbird (F8 keyboard shortcut) and Outlook (Show/Hide Preview Pane menu command/toolbar button) allow this functionality, but I cannot find anything similar in KMail.
(Note: I have found the KMail configuration option to display the preview pane; I would like to have the option of changing this option "on the fly".)
Thanks in advance!
