Close the message preview pane (if you are in the mail component). If
you open the message in a separate window then I guess you cannot.

I'm not sure I understand what that means or how it is related.
If you want to compile Evolution from source and install it in a custom
directory: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution#Developer_Resources
Good luck with the dependencies if you are running such a dated system.
