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?????

    This started on my email. I don't like my emails to pop out! I have tried all the suggestions here. I don't want a reading pane either. I use outlook web.

    Yes, one day about two weeks ago, new windows started opening when I touched the screen. I can't stop it. It used to just open the email without a new window popping out. This SUCKS and I hate it. But I can't figure out how to stop it. HELP!

    I too am having this issue. When I use my mouse or keyboard to open an email, then it opens in the same browser tab. BUT when I touch an email to open it, then it opens in a pop-up window. Very inconsistent and frustrating.

    Yes, I use Outlook web. It opens emails in the window when I use the mouse. I use a Wacom tablet and when I am using the pen it pops open my email message in another window. I do not like having floating email windows. It doesn't work well for me.

    I am having the same issue and can't find a setting for pop-out windows in any of my settings or options.
