    I don't have this as an option in the New Outlook

    Layout -> Reading Pane -> Options ... Single key reading using space bar Off

    I've given up and reverted to the old Outlook over this basic behaviour. Doing that gives you an option to feed back on why you're reverting. Probably more effective than commenting here.
