@emph{Split view} refers to viewing the @ref{Headers view} and the
@ref{Message view} next to each other, with the message selected in the
former, visible in the latter. Earlier versions of @t{mu4e} only showed one of
the views at the same time, but now it does support it - in fact, split view
is the default behavior after version 0.8.3.1.

@item @t{vertical} (this is the default): display the message view on the

You can also determine the number of lines (when splitting horizontally) or
the number of columns (when splitting vertically) to reserve for the header
view with @t{mu4e-headers-visible-lines} (default: 8) and
@t{mu4e-headers-visible-columns} (default: 30).
When splitting horizontally, you can determine the number of visible header
lines with with the variable @t{mu4e-headers-visible-lines} (default value:
8). When split vertically you can use @t{mu4e-headers-visible-columns}
(default value: 30) to set the number of visible columns.
When the message view window is selected, you cannot use the arrow keys for
moving to the next / previous message (like you can in the headers view),
since those are already assigned to cursor movement in the message. However,
instead can use the @key{p} (or @key{M-up}) and @key{n} (or @key{M-down}) keys
for moving to the previous and the next message, respectively. These keys also
work in the headers view.
You can change the selected window from the headers-view to the message-view
and vice-versa with @code{mu4e-select-other-view}, bound to @key{y}.
