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

Thank you, this has been so frustrating, closing an email, then also closed outlook as a whole with this 1 click rubbish!

I used the following approach as workaround:

1. Go to Settings >> Mail >> Layout >>
2. Under the Reading pane options, select "At the bottom"
3. Save and return back to email list window. Reading pane at the bottom half will appear.
4. Drag the Reading Pane border marker (top-right) to reduce the size of the pane to minimum possible.
5. Now the single click will not open any email. Whereas double click will open the email in new window.

I just found this issue too (now moved to using the web based mail only).

My conclusion so far until they fix it, instead of single click, right click and go direct to the options I was probably after anyway.

I single click because I want to delete/Mark Read something without reading, and found these options are immediately availavle in the right click menu

You can also change the quick clicks to add the "delete" "move" or "flag" option so it is shown when you hover over the message in your inbox, which provides you with the option to just click that icon to delete something, or archive something, without the need to right click. Still hoping they fix this at some point, because I do continue to open a lot of emails that I don't want to open, but this update to the inbox has helped.

Yup, this is trash.

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