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?

    And to illustrate <removed - COC violation>, somebody has just sent me a list of suggested dates for a meeting. In the old Outlook, the one that worked properly, I would simply have dragged the email in its separate window to a separate screen while checking my Outlook calendar, or just Alt+Tabbed between them. Alas no more. Now I have to use the Snipping Tool to take an image of the email, and use this image to compare the dates with my calendar. What a shambles.

    It looks like it. To arbitrarily and randomly restrict options to some users, while allowing them for others, just emphasises what a spectacular shambles Microsoft has made of what should have been a routine upgrade. How could they have got it so wrong?

    I do not have this option under customize. Is this only available in certain versions?

    This is why am sticking with the 'old' Outlook. It makes it unusable for me. My Quick action doesn't show the new window icon as an option either. Will stick with the oldy until it is no longer available and will have to look for another email app solution if this is not ficed.
