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?

    I don't understand why Microsoft continues to make unwanted changes that disrupt the workflow in its most critical products. No one asked for this version of outlook. Different does not mean better. In the previous version of Outlook, single clicking never opened an email. I only want to open a message through double click. I only ever want that message to open in a separate window. I want to be able to single click and select multiple messages to move or delete them. All of this functionality is gone in the current version. Workflow is not disrupted, it's completely destroyed. It's as though this version of Outlook was designed by people who have never actually used Outlook. Every single thing requires more clicks and effort. Even the color schemes are so high contrast, it's painful to look at, whether in light or dark mode, and using any of the themes. Yes, I have tried them all. Please escalate these posts to the product team. We are talking about core functionality loss here. This is not ready to roll out.

    Wow, that's really dumb. Why do you want to lose landscape by having the reading pane open when you plan to open in a new window? And it still doesn't allow you to move to the next email in the list without going back to the email list. It just closes the email in the new window. I opened a feedback @ https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/213387ca-4cf3-ed11-a81c-000d3ae5b6f4 if anyone want to upvote.

    Reading pane marks items as read, which haven't been opened yet. It is very important to me to know what I have read or not. I am not looking for a workaround, I am looking for MS to fix the beg/feature. The new Outlook is obviously written for Samsung and Apple tablets, not for "Windows".
