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?

    There's something funky with that whole thing. Yes, a properly times double-click results in a separate window, but sometimes a double click still means it'll open in the same window. A single click always opens within the same window. Microsoft seriously just needs to disable the single slick action.

    I tried again this morning. The first email I double-clicked on opened in a new window. YEA! The next one did not. BOO! The next one did. YEA! The fourth one did not. BOO!

    There seems to be a little progress, but inconsistent results are worse than not opening in a new window at all. No one will be able to use this new version.

    Hey how are you?

    Well I've tried that, and it's not showing.. that option isn't there and all I get under that section is this:

    This customization is not supported for this account.

    Well it's a sudden last minute thing cos it WAS opening in a new window when I clicked the message I wanted to see, and now all the sudden 5 mins ago it doesn't open in a new window anymore and OPPOSITE to what others are saying I got used to it and like it to open in a new window

    Why do you release unfinished products again.

    Your releases are rarely improvements nowadays.

    Everytime there's an update I fear for what feature I rely upon that you will remove this time.

    You are on a race to the bottom.

    I always use the enter button to open the message in a new screen, and this is not working in the new version.
