Hi. Is there anyway to open emails in Outlook 2013 with a single mouse click. I know there is a keyboard shortcut, but a single mouse click would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 16, 2013 at 12:13 pm #1375194In Outlook 2013 Click on the View tab and in the layout group click ‘Reading Pane’ and choose ‘Bottom’ or ‘Right’, depending on your preference. Emails will display in this preview pane on a single click, but still open to their own window on a double click. There is no way to have the email open in its own window on a single click.
You can make the preview pane bigger or smaller with a click-hold-drag on the line separating the email and preview panes.
Cheers,
N
