In New Outlook, it opens an email when I click on it.

I want to change the setting to double-click. Please help.

    Thanks for the reply. I’m not using 365.

    I just have the old Hotmail which is now Outlook.

    Anyone else have any tips?

    Thanks for any help.

    I finally solved this annoying issue.

    In the task bar on top of MS Outlook go to <view>

    There in the layout section choose <reading pane>

    Then <options>

    Uncheck the "Turn on automatic full screen reading"

    Done

    There is no 'option' when I click on <reading pane>

    There are only "Show on the right" , "Show on the bottom", "Hide"

    Some screen shots could help...

    Has anyone found the fix for this one?

    All I keep reading online is to go to view all outlook settings which doesn’t exist in the new outlook.

    No fix, also the new Outlook doesn't support offline (PST/OST) files, so I would just keep on using the Outlook Classic.
