In New Outlook, it opens an email when I click on it.
I want to change the setting to double-click. Please help.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

The lack of any ability to switch off single-click to open a message in-line is very annoying. Please can we get something done so a new message is only opened in a new window following a double-click? A single click should do nothing other than select/highlight the message.
No fix, also the new Outlook doesn't support offline (PST/OST) files, so I would just keep on using the Outlook Classic.
Has anyone found the fix for this one?
All I keep reading online is to go to view all outlook settings which doesn’t exist in the new outlook.
There is no 'option' when I click on <reading pane>
There are only "Show on the right" , "Show on the bottom", "Hide"
Some screen shots could help...
I finally solved this annoying issue.
In the task bar on top of MS Outlook go to <view>
There in the layout section choose <reading pane>
Then <options>
Uncheck the "Turn on automatic full screen reading"
Done
