Daft question from a numpty about Outlook Express

TomsMom

Hello clever computer people. I only ever seem to come on this part of the forum when I have a problem with my computer and I'm sorry this is probably such a silly one.

I've just had a new computer and it's all set up nicely and we have Windows XP and Outlook Express 6 (it was all transferred from the old computer and we're happy enough to keep it rather than learn anything new at the moment).

With Outlook Express we've taken off the preview pane as we don't like it but when we click to open an email it comes up as a small box in the middle of the screen. On the old computer it opened up much bigger, filling the screen. I know I can click on the maximise button but I would prefer it to be as before with it filling the screen when we open it.

I've tried "View" and searched on the Help thing but don't seem to be able to find anything relating to this. Can anyone tell me how to get it back big please.

Locate the double arrow on each side of pane and drag to required size.

Oh thank you so much dogmary :j. There was me looking for all sorts of solutions and I didn't know it could be that easy. All sorted now :T.
