Hi guys, I've searched high and low for an answer but can't seem to find one, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

In Microsoft Outlook, if you open an email you've received and click on the "delete" icon, the email window just closes and takes you back to the main Outlook window. This is an option that you set in the preferences, but Windows Mail either doesn't have it or I just can't find it.

What happens in Windows Mail is that when you click on the delete icon, instead of closing the email and going back to the main window, it just goes to the next email.

Has anyone figured this one out?

Thanks

I actully use WLM and I am not aware of any setting that will cause it to close. I am sure there are people here that know of tweaks that can cause this, but I am not one of them.

in outlook, (not the email window), go to tools, options. In preferences tab, go to email options, and change the "after moving..." pulldown. Done.

I don't see a way, but nowadays with the size of monitors, and the enhancements and customization options for preview and reding panes, I read all my messages in reading pane, and when you delete there is nothing to close. Why not give that a shot? Maybe if you get used to it you won't need to open multiple windows to read the same thing?
