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?

Hey,
So... it's a problem with us people, humans, not the software itself.. ok that clears it out enough already.
Thanks a lot for updating this matter :)
Happy Holidays =)
take care

I've just 'upgraded' (if you can call it that) to the new version of Outlook and instantly got frustrated by this. I could be imagining this, but it seems like if I double-click quick enough, like as quick as I can, then it opens in a new window, but if I'm too slow then it opens in the reading pane.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the double-click speed set in the mouse settings.
You know I don't mind the single click or double click, yet somehow it's weird how as much as it suddenly started opening in a new window on a single click which I got used to and accommodated to and liked it also it suddenly stopped opening new mails in that new window and started opening them on the app window itself.. I tried looking for solutions but none apply or even are the answer so dunno.. almost thought it was something I did on a keyboard shortcut as it happens so many times cos I do things so fast sometimes I have no clue how I did it and if I wanted to... couldn't be able to do it.. but apparently no and it's actually a thing and so common to happen to all of you as well.. I'll keep looking on YTube to see if there's soemhting or I'll ask a friend who works at MIcrosoft maybe he knows , thanks though for taking the time to explain :)
