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?

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.
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
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.
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.
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 :)
