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?????

    Not sure if this will last, but if your are using webmail, like me you may suddenly be having this issue as a random will it open in a pop out or won't it experience. I went up to the filter option to view unread messages which only showed the stupid ad message at the top YAWN! When I went back to show all, suddenly the random pop up thing stopped. Like I said it might only be temporary, but far out what a lovely relief even just for the moment.

    I found the fix, not really. If you choose to hide the reading panel (similar to Gmail). You Click on the name of the the sender and the email will pop up in the same screen. If you click on the subject line, you will get a new pop up window. I'm not sure if you can change this, I guess this is a question for Mirosoft.

    Why is the "Open replies and forwards in a new window" grayed out? If it wasn't then I'm sure the pop out would stop. SOME HELP! AYUDA POR FAVOR!

    There is neither a “Compose messages” section nor is there a “Pop out replies and forwards” section anywhere in the Outlook Web "Compose and Reply".

    Searching the entire web/browser application settings do not show anything with the phrase “Pop out replies and forwards”

    Agree with the frustrations of all the posters . I have spent a lot of time trying out options that seem to resolve this without success. To repeat there is neither a " Compose Messages" section nor a section for pop outs / replies / forwards.

    Does Microsoft have a recommended solution at this time ( January 2nd , 2024) ?
