yes, really. and its driving me loopy.so any help would be appreciated.
previously the mail opened up down the side you tapped on the inbox and that would open up down the side, tap on the first mail and it would open up fully in the mail area, could then just delete that and the next message would appear automatically in the mail area(main box).
now the inbox list that was down the side is now in the main box. i have to double click to open a message, and it opens up the email box, if i then decide to delete the box closes and i have to repeat the double click on the next message.Or if i don't delete, i can push the arrow key to go down the messages, and then close the box and go back through the list and try to remember the ones i wanted to delete, and do it that why.Its double handling all ways! a pain in the butt.
hope that makes sense, neither of us have changed anything, so i don't know if microsoft did an update.any help to get it back to normal please.
have tried playing around with stuff but no good. thank you x

I'm guessing here as it's hard to tell but it sounds like your reading pane has been turned off, if you go to the view group at the top you should have an option called reading pane which you can set to be off, bottom or right - try changing that to bottom or right.
