I like to open unread emails in a new window vs the email window. It sometimes works by double clicking but not very often. Is there a trick I'm missing?

    The options in your example aren't available to me. The option I have is Customize Actions (not Message Surface) with options to add/remove Delete, Archive, Pin, Mark as read or unread, Flag, or Move to folder. I don't see in my window what you show above.

    So, I finally decided to "upgrade" to the New Outlook and this issue hit big time. I love that I can pin my messages to the top but... not being able to open messages in a new window without double-clicking super fast or selecting the checkbox next to the message and hit shift-enter is breaking my workflow.

    I also found that I can't open up email messages I have saved out to a folder on my hard drive (to keep related messages with projects that I work on). The New Outlook client says I can't do that.

    Now I have to go back to the previous version and lose the ability of pinning messages because of this issue. I hope they fix this issue someday.

    We need the double left click to open email in new window.

    It's not working and this is one of the most important feature to the workflow.

    Also, you need to create an option to "always open messages in a new window".

    ASAP!

    Hello TulsanWithQuestions,

    Many thanks for your response.

    Kindly confirm if you are doing the double click in the email item list? Also, are you able to use the pop out button with no issues?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Ashraf
