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 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.

    I have had the same problem for the same length of time, I just discovered that if I single click instead of double click on the email in the inbox, it opens in the inbox instead of in a popup. I use Outlook in Firefox on a Windows 10 Dell PC.

    I started having the same issue a short time ago too. It is very annoying! Im guessing it was an update or something that caused this and so far there do not seem to be any fixes

    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.
