In Classic Outlook on Windows 10 I had the option for "Always use single line layout"

I cannot find that option any where on Outlook under Windows 11 (classic or new outlook.

Can anyone tell me where to find it please?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    This is the single thing that has helped me! I was frustrated why I was unable to toggle like you and then realized what needs to happen first is to go to Windows general settings (not outlook), Text size and move to 100% or 125% from the recommended and default 150% which does not allow this. Hope this helps someone else and saves time!

    PS.: the only thing that now annoys me incredibly, is the 2 cm worth of empty space as a "no column column" next to the Receive date!

    Unfortunately, even with compact settings and small fonts, you still get 2 lines in New Outlook. There is no way to do 1 line like the Classic Outlook, unless someone knows a registry hack to help us out!

    image uploads are broken in the forum, so you can see a screenshot here: https://ibb.co/8zS5TbP

    For Single Viewing options

    • View Settings
    • Other Settings
    • Reading Pane - Select OFF
    • Under reading pane, there's Other Options, select - Always Use Single - Line Layout

    Select - Ok

    Hope that helps.
