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?

    Even with the super-fast double-click or the triple-click, this doesn't solve the bigger issue for me which is that I can't single-click an email. I tend to get a lot of emails that I can read through the one-line preview. I will often select them all and ctrl+enter to mark all as read. Can't do that with the new Outlook. Worthless to me.

    I keep switching to the new outlook, and when I switch back I provide feedback when it asks. I'm sure that is directed straight to a person who immediately reads it and takes it very seriously.

    Oh don't worry - I gave them some feedback when I switched back to the old Outlook. I gave them both barrels!

    While I have the same question, I would prefer to have the option at the set-up level to ask if you want your emails opened in a new window everytime. If no, then the other option of clicking on the email when you do want it in a new window would still be available.

    There is no such option in Settings / Customize Options called "Open in New Window." Nor are there any of the selections you show in your screen shot
