Outlook: Show preview window again

If the preview window is no longer displayed in Outlook, you can easily show it again.

Outlook options for the reading window

1. Open Outlook and switch to the "Display" tab at the top.
2. In the Layout area, click on the "Reading area" field - it is nothing more than the preview window for your emails.
3. Select "Right" or "Bottom" here to display the reading area at the appropriate point.

These instructions refer to Microsoft Outlook 2010 under Windows 8.1. For a better overview, you can also automatically hide e-mails read in Outlook. You can find out how this works in this practical tip.
