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 have discovered today that if I click on the "read/unread" envelope icon next to the message in my inbox, the email opens up in the window and doesn't pop out as a new window. I use Outlook Web and a Wacom tablet with pen stylus for a mouse.

    Thank you for providing those solutions unfortunately when I go on to my settings screen I am not given any of those options does that mean that I need to install a latest version of outlook on my computer?

    I'm having the same exact issue it started about a month ago have you been able to fix it? Was wondering if we must upgrade to the latest version of Outlook...? It's very frustrating I completely agree with you

    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?
