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?????

- Click on the 'View' tab at the top of your screen, then select 'Change View'
- Next, select from Compact, Single or Preview
- Single is the one where you still see all of your emails on the left and the preview of your email on the right.
- Hope this helps :)
OR
Change your Reading Pane
Same as before:
- Click on the 'View' tab at the top of your screen, but this time select 'Layout'
- 'Reading Pane'
- Select which view you prefer, either 'Right' or 'Bottom'

2025-01-10T19:20:14+00:00 I have found a solution! So, if you "quick-click" on an email, it pops out the email to full screen.
HOWEVER, if you "long-click," not "double-click" but hold the mouse button for about a second, it won't pop-out and just move to that email in the preview pane.
I'm guessing this is a feature, not a bug.
