how to open a new outlook window.

The old version under you could - "View", ". . ." , "Window", "open in new window"

I don't see this feature in the new version.

    Hi @Vernon Breakfield

    Good day, and thank you for the clear explanation of your concern.

    In the new Outlook for Windows, the previous navigation path (View > … > Window > Open in New Window) is no longer available in the same way.

    To open an item in a new window in the new Outlook, you can:

    • Right‑click the email, calendar, or item you want, then select Open in new window, or
    • Click the three dots (… ) menu and choose Open in new window

    This provides similar functionality to the classic Outlook experience, although accessed differently in the updated interface.
