Support for Outlook & Outlook Express
Microst Outlook Express - Disable The Previewpane
1. Make sure your "Folder List" is visible on
the left hand side of the Outlook window.
If it is not, click on the "View" menu and
then click on the "Layout..." option.
In the window that appears, put a checkmark
next to "Folder List" and then click on
"Apply" and "OK".
2. If you can now see your folder list (which
includes your "Deleted Items", "Drafts",
"Outbox", "Inbox" and any folders you have
created under the "Inbox") you are ready
for the next step.
3. Click on the "Inbox" folder in
the Folder List. If the Preview Pane (usually
in the lower right quadrant of your screen)
is visible, then click on the "View" menu
option and then on the "Layout..." menu item.
In the window that appears, REMOVE the
checkmark next to the "Show Preview Pane"
option. Then, click on "Apply" and "OK".
Now that your preview pane is disabled, this means
that you will now need to double-click on an email
to have it open up in its own window.
This is a very good thing, however, because it
gives you the chance to decide whether you want
to open the mail in the first place.

Microsoft Outlook - Disable Previewpane
1. If you do not see your folder list along the
left hand side of your Outlook window, click
the "View" menu item and then the "Folder List"
option. This is a toggle setting, which means
that each time you do this you turn the folder
list on or off.
2. If you can now see your folder list (which
includes your "Deleted Items", "Drafts", "Inbox"
and any folders you have created under the
"Inbox") you are ready for the next step.
3. Click on the "Deleted Items" folder in
the Folder List. If the Preview Pane (usually
in the lower right quadrant of your screen)
is visible, then click on the "View" menu
option and then on the "Preview Pane" menu item.
This also is a toggle setting. Clicking this repeatedly
will turn the Preview Pane on and off.
4. Repeat step 3 for each folder in your Folder List.
Do NOT do step 3 on the "Journal", "Note",
"Outbox", and "Tasks" folders. Do all others
below "Inbox", however.
For each folder where a preview pane shows up,
use the "View/Preview Pane" menu option to turn
the Preview Pane off for those folders.
Now that your preview pane is disabled, this means
that you will now need to double-click on an email
to have it open up in its own window.
This is a very good thing, however, because it
gives you the chance to decide whether you want
to open the mail in the first place.
