Solve : microsoft outlook email? |
|
Answer» I'm interested in finding out how I can view my emails in Outlook without the emails ever opening up. I was able to do this with Outlook Express but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Microsoft Outlook. Is this possible and if so how? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ThanksWhy are you concerned about this? What is your key issue?You want to view an email without it opening up? What are you talking about?My guess is he's talking about turning off Preview Pane in Outlook Express. If this is not done, the body of the message is displayed in a separate pane when a message is selected from the part of the OE window that shows the list of messages in the Inbox or other OE folder. Turning off the Preview Pane may be VIEWED as a security step. It allows you to select a message and delete it without the body of the message being displayed. Ok, let me explain. In Outlook Express I can single click an email and I am able to read it in the preview pane without actually opening the email. To open the email, I would have to double click it, which I never have to do. If possible, I want to do the same thing in Microsoft Outlook. Not receiving a virus is my main goal here.If you see it in Preview Pane, then it's been opened. The only difference, with double clicking on a message, is that it's then opened in separate window. But, again, either way, it's been opened. Again, I thought you were talking about having Preview Pane turned off. I THINK your worries about using Outlook are not based on a good understanding of security features in Outlook. For example, unless you've disabled certain features in Outlook, it will not display images in an HTML email unless you tell it to do so. I really appreciate everyones responses. Maybe I'm not understanding Outlook Express. I assumed that when you see that you GOT an email there is a small closed envelope next to the new email (meaning that it is not open). When you highlight this mail by single clicking on it, it would show up in the preview pane. But when you double click on it, the envelope will be in the open position (meaning that it has now been opened). I know you can manually set up Outlook Express to do this. I was wanting to set up Microsoft Outlook to do the same.Quote from: Allan on March 20, 2010, 12:49:20 PM Again, I guess I'm not following. Once you read it, it's "open". As long as there are no attachments that you are opening you're fine. |
