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?????

    I also had the same issue. It was driving me nuts. I think I fixed the issue by going to "View" then "sync" . Also, the one suggestion of clicking slowly worked but i could not keep that habit as time is money.

    For me, it happens in Outlook app, not browser.

    It only happens when I use Safari instead of Chrome. Try using Chrome as your browser and the problem should disappear.

    So, none of the solutions I found in the replies are helping. The Outlook app updated today, and now when I click 'New mail,' it always opens in a new window. None of my attempts with panel changes are helping.
