If I open a message window, then delete that message, the next message in sequence opens in a new window. If I want a message to open, I'll open it myself. How can I prevent deleting a message from forcing the next message to open into a new window?

Yeah, I kind of figured that out. It doesn't work that way in Outlook, and makes no sense that it works that way in Windows Mail. It creates extra steps. Is it not somewhere in my "Preferences" to change that?

You can disable the Preview Pane under View | Layout and then delete messages without opening them. Otherwise, I think you are stuck with what you've got.

I'd like to jump in here and say that I have the same problem. When I forward or reply to an email, the original is gone and the next one is opened. I don't like that. What if I did not want to open that next one. Is there a place where I can have that original email just stay in view after forwarding or replying to it, so I can delete it or close it myself? musiclover

Thank you Steve. Unfortunately after the disable of Preview Pane there is no other option. Will have to just be careful to close each e-mail by the 'X' as well as knowing what the next email is/or who it's from, by deleting all unwanted e-mails b4 reading others. A bit of a bother considering the OE in Win98/and XP was far more user friendly and Vista seems to have gone backwards on this function. musiclover

There is a way to do it with the new Vista program.........I discoverer it just by playing around with it. Select Ctrl A, where all the emails are "highlighted", while holding down the Ctrl key, click on the emails that you want to keep, let go of the Ctrl key and then hit delete. Only the ones "unhighlighted" will remain in your box.
