Windows 10: You can soon enable and disable reading pane in the Windows 10 Mail app

The built-in Mail app in Windows 10 is much better than the third-party solutions and it’s getting better with each update. Windows 10 Mail app features a minimalist and flat design with Fluent Design effects. You can use any standard mail systems, including Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and iCloud.

If you enjoy the wide look of the e-mail clients, but use Windows 10 Mail app, we have a good news for you. Microsoft appears to be a testing a new feature that would let you disable reading pane in Windows 10 Mail app.

For those unfamiliar, reading pane is basically a preview pane that allows you to view and reply to e-mails while navigating your inbox. The feature is enabled by default in Windows 10 Mail app and you cannot disable it.



It appears that you will be able to disable the reading pane in Mail from the settings soon. At the moment, Microsoft is A/B testing this feature in Windows 10 Mail app and it would begin rolling out to the users soon.

Windows 10 Mail app recently received ink feature


Last month Microsoft updated the Mail app for Windows 10 with support for inking capabilities, basically allowing users to draw, scribble and write in emails. It’s a useful feature that should come in any handy to many users as you can also take notes on images and highlight content right within the app.



If you’re interested, you can create a new message, select the Draw tab, put the cursor anywhere inside the email and select Drawing Canvas to start writing with a pen in the email. You can also draw on the pictures and send it as an email.

The update with support for ink was released to users across the world last month.

The ability to disable the reading pane in the Mail is pretty useful on devices with touchscreens. At the moment, the update is not available for the Insiders but it should arrive soon.

Reading pane in Windows 10 email app

The FAQ doesn't have answer for the question above.

The question is:

How to enable/disable reading pane in Windows 10 Mail App?

 

Reading Pane in Mail

When I left click on it my reading pane turns off.
I can also shrink mail APP from right side so it just shows list of messages without reading pane.

 

Reading Pane - Win 10 Mail App

Now that I have to use the inbuilt Mail app within Windows 10 because WLM is discontinuing, I would like to know how to set the reading pane for all email to show at the bottom of the message list rather than on the right hand side.

There seems to be no option to change this. I have looked in Settings\ Reading, but no mention of changing the view pane from side view to bottom view....

Is this actually possible within the Mail app??

Thanks
