I use Outlook 365 Desktop App. Whenever I double click on something, eg an email, it opens in a new window. Is there any way to stop this ie keep Outlook as an SDI rather than MDI? I seem to remember this being an option in the olden days but cannot find it anymore.

2One click, inline, two clicks, new window. No?– TetsujinFeb 17, 2021 at 8:05

@Tetsujin that's how it has always been to me. I've never seen an option to block that either and I've used a lot of versions over the years.– Mokubai ♦Feb 17, 2021 at 8:31

@Mokubai - It just seems to me "that's how things work". Same in Explorer, or on a Mac… or anywhere. One click select, two clicks action. The only place that's not generally true would be the web.– TetsujinFeb 17, 2021 at 8:34

Exactly. Perhaps OP may have previously been using the Outlook Web App version without realising it which is available via the accounts area in the settings.– Mokubai ♦Feb 17, 2021 at 8:38

1Do you still have any questions about it? If not, it's recommended to post your solution to answer and mark it.– JadeFeb 24, 2021 at 7:19

The comments pointed me in the right direction: View - Reading Pane - Right (was set to Off). Once it is on, a single-click means I can see the email without a pop up.
