How to Disable single click to open email in New Outlook?

<groan>

MS: just give thus the option to turn-off single-click!

I think this is wildly annoying. Also missing the capability to collapse a view and to move through the mails via arrow keys when reading pane disabled

Yup, this is trash.

At least give option to disable the single click on email opens in viewing pane.

on my outlook, this is how i did it, click the VIEW tab, go over to layout and click on reading pane, then down to options, remove the tick where it says mark item as read when selection changes.

• Sign in to your Outlook account using your email address and password.

• At the top of the page, select Settings and choose View all Outlook settings.

• In the Settings pan, go to Layout and select the Reading pane under Maile.

• Under Mark as read, uncheck the option Single click to open items.

• Click Save to apply the changes.

I hope this helps you disable a single click to open the email in New Outlook.

This answer is wrong and should be deleted. There is no such setting as 'Single click to open items".
