    The issue I have with a double click opening an email in a new window is that when viewed in a new window it doesn't show as opened in the inbox.

    Unless there is a setting for this of course.

    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.
