How to Open Emails in Separate Window in New Outlook

Same issue. Not sure how this one was missed. Almost 30 years of Outlook usage, and it has always had this feature. Huge oversight by the dev team here that makes the new Outlook completely useless to me. Who opens just one email at a time? I've switched back for now.

What's frustrating here is that this is a clear bug, yet we're asked to submit "feedback" that it will "hopefully... be included in a future update". No... this is a bug. It needs to be reported as a bug by a Microsoft employee. We, as the users, should not have to beg via feedback portal for a bug to be fixed.

Dear TulsanWithQuestions and all,

Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

We do apologize if we are not able to meet your requirements. We will surely raise you concerns to our Product Team and hopefully this can be included in the future updates.

However, the new Outlook is still a work in progress. If you don't mind, please provide feedback on this feature request by creating a new post in the Feedback Portal at Outlook · Community (microsoft.com), or directly through your new outlook (Help-->Feedback), Microsoft is committed to enhancing the customer experience by continually examining suggestions to include in the design and development of future product upgrades based on your suggestions.

Your kind understanding is highly appreciated.

Thank you for your precious time and have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Ashraf

I am in the same boat. I just installed the new Outlook. I have two monitors. The one in front of me is my work surface. The monitor in the right runs Outlook all the time. When I double click a message it should open on my work surface (pop out message to a new window). This is not happening. Outlook is unusable to me if this function is not available.

Restating: Double clicking on a message DOES NOT open the message in a new window in the New Outlook. In fact, double clicking has the disastrous effect of launching whatever link is under the cursor after message opens due to the first click. NOT GOOD!

Expected solution. Add the option to open email in a new window on the first click.

The double left click on the email isn't opening in new window for me.

I usually have the main outlook window as only the preview pane and then I open each email in a new window. This keeps the amount of Outlook's screen real estate low until I open a message and respond. Defaulting the double-click action to open a new window with that message is critical to the workflow. This reference article shows how I'd configure Outlook in the previous version, I just need to know how to do it in the new version. Thanks!
