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?????

    Same here, very bloody annoying.

    Started happening about two months ago and no way to stop it.

    I use reading pane (right) and scroll message to message, when I click anywhere in the two line view, it opens the email in a new window and I have to manually close it.

    Happens to me using latest Outlook Desktop client

    Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2306 Build 16.0.16529.20226) 64-bit

    I started having the same issue a short time ago too. It is very annoying! Im guessing it was an update or something that caused this and so far there do not seem to be any fixes

    I am having the exact same issue. I have read through all the responses below and unfortunately none of them take care of the problem. Surprised that Microsoft hasn't taken care of it yet. Isn't this forum monitored? Would be nice to have a solution soon.

    Very inconsistent and annoying it didn't used to do that two months ago I use a surface and even if I use a mouse or Wacom tablet touching the screen directly the emails opening Little window with tiny font... Wonder if Microsoft is doing this to force people to upgrade their Outlook platform but I'm not 100% sure has anybody been able to upgrade the Outlook platform in order to access those features that can stop emails from opening a new windows?
