what has happened to View Single line layout?

Hi,

This slider is not showing on my settings.

Not in settings, but in main view:

Third time's the charm, right? But not in this case. I have searched everywhere. The only place for Message Preview is in Other Settings and then it cannot be turned off; it only asks about font.

Are you saying Messages but meaning Reading?? The Reading Pane is off. That is not a Message Preview. The Message Preview shows the first couple of lines of the email. Like this. Except there's nowhere that I've seen to change it. What am I missing???

Perhaps if you can show me what you are seeing with a screen shot, it might help. I have Windows 11 and Outlook 365. Do you have the same?

While I agree this makes sense, this cannot possibly be the correct solution. I cannot turn off the Message Preview. I don't have that option anywhere. It just gives me font selections shown below: Maybe I just don't know where to find it??

Thanks KML, that helped a bit.

I have got back to having a single line by making the reading pane narrower.

But it also used to be possible to choose which fields to display (eg name, subject, date) and specify the size of the fields and their order. I can't work out how to do this anymore other than a bit of dragging of a vertical divider in the top row.

Does anyone know how to control the fields, now that Microsoft has jiggered it in their supposedly improved Outlook??

Outlook 365

View > Current View > Message Preview > Off

Thank you, this is the correct solution.
