I have had outlook 365 for years. Nothing on my end has changed. Suddenly (as of yesterday) every time i click on New Email a pop out window opens up (and the signature within my email is HUGE. About a 48 font yet the font showing is 12) This has never happened before and it is QUITE annoying. I have searched within the OPTIONS of Outlook and I cannot find anything with the option to open a pop out window when composing a new email. So there appears to be nothing for me to check/uncheck in this regard. As far as I know i have had no updates to Outlook that would have made this happen. Has anyone else had this happen and have you figured out how to stop it?????

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Why is the "Open replies and forwards in a new window" grayed out? If it wasn't then I'm sure the pop out would stop. SOME HELP! AYUDA POR FAVOR!
I found the fix, not really. If you choose to hide the reading panel (similar to Gmail). You Click on the name of the the sender and the email will pop up in the same screen. If you click on the subject line, you will get a new pop up window. I'm not sure if you can change this, I guess this is a question for Mirosoft.
Not sure if this will last, but if your are using webmail, like me you may suddenly be having this issue as a random will it open in a pop out or won't it experience. I went up to the filter option to view unread messages which only showed the stupid ad message at the top YAWN! When I went back to show all, suddenly the random pop up thing stopped. Like I said it might only be temporary, but far out what a lovely relief even just for the moment.
I have been having the same pop out issue with email and it is very annoying. I have had this email account for over 10 years and never had an issue like this I couldn't fix through setting adjustments. It would be helpful to hear back from someone at Microsoft with a solution to this problem (as it continues today). There was a suggestion by a commenter back in July about changing the layout reading pane settings to the "bottom" option; that seems to have worked, but I don't like having my reading pane at the bottom and when I tried to change it back to "no preview", the pop up email issue started again. There's no way to edit, open attachments, or click on links when the email pops open, hence making your platform unusable. I appreciate your help resolving this issue.
That fails to address or answer my question. I can't use my email like I used to because every time I touch the screen, the email I choose becomes a pop out. And there are many similar complaints to mine. Microsoft changed something on us and it BLOWS. Since it didn't used to be that way just six months ago, Microsoft has a responsibility to find a fix for its users who hate the change that has been thrust upon us.
Again, how do we prevent emails from popping out? I have tried everything with reading panes, etc. and nothing is preventing this annoying and unwieldy bug.
