Assuming you mean in landscape?

Do you mean hide the entire pane of mailboxes (to my knowledge this has never been possible) or do you mean keeping all folders nested and no in their expanded form?

yh I mean the pane in 12 once closed it never appeared open until you reopened it just seems to open now at random times

I close it using the circle bit but then 10 mins later say I go back in mail it’s open again

In iPad OS? Bc I don’t have that button at all in iOS—neither in portrait nor landscape.

Just checked and I have it. Running iPadOS 13.2 17B84 release.

I don’t have this button/option at all. Seriously, this is making me crazy. I'm using an iPad Pro running 13.2.

IPP 11 running 13.2 - I can confirm I do not have that option in either light or dark mode for Mail.
Where @dazlicous has an option, my screen has a blank spot.

Now interestingly I have an IPP 12.9 G2 that is running 13.2 b4 and it has the option.
this is nuts.

Going to play with the 11 and see if there is something missing / unchecked / WTFK? ...

Ah, perhaps that’s the difference.

12.9 2018 iPP. Guess screen size is the difference between having it or not.

Mystery solved and bummer for 10.5” users.

BTW, what an absolutely IDIOTIC design choice to give those with the BIGGER screen the choice to hide the mailboxes but leave those with the SMALLER screens with smaller, more cramped UI.

What are Apple’s software engineers smoking?

It is an additional column on the 12.9" iPad. So you can have 3 columns that you can "hide" down to 2 to match the same design as the other iPads.

my issue is now in iPadOS if you hide this 3rd pane it comes back at random times dunno why it never used to in iOS 12 unless you force close Mail

I understand your problem and I am having the same issue. Its annoying.

I was trying to explain the difference to the other poster about the extra column that they won’t have on their 105” IPP

The 12.9 allows 3 columns in Mail while smaller sizes do not.
Not sure if that is the difference.

looks like it’s more of this Ram management bug in 13.2 at a guess causing Mail to reload

What are you seeing in the "reload" category for Mail?
Other than create/reply ...
