If you are only pulling through the name and subject initially (and ID presumably) then when the preview is clicked on you do another database query to get the rest of the message information using the ID as the identifier. And then display that in the seond area in pretty much the same way you displayed the preview.

my problem is how to pass jS variable from .js file to .php file.
means if i click on the preveiew of message, the message id is storing in external jS file
inbox.js

  $( ".sender" ).on("click",function()
    {
    var test=(($("input[name=sender]").val()));
    var id=$(this).parent().attr('id');
    });

now i want to send that variable id to .php file
( if i click on the preveiew of message,respective content should be display on the right side)

Look into jquery http.post method. It lets you make an AJAX call to a URL you specify and pass in data.
The PHP script reads in the $_POST variables and you're all set to do your database query
