Description Omar Plummer 2017-09-06 14:38:38 UTC

I was, in the past, able to double click on an email in the message list to open it in a new window, whether or not the preview pane is enabled. Now it only works if I go to:

Settings -> Configure Kmail... -> Appearance -> Layout -> Message Preview Pane

And select one of the options that makes the preview pane enabled.

To summarize: If the preview pane is disabled, I can see the message list, but I am unable to open any particular email message from that list.

NOTE: Also, right-clicking on an email within the message list does not give me the option to "open message".

confirmed.  if you don't have message preview pane enabled you can't double-click open the message.

Confirming that this now works for me as expected.

Thanks for resolving this, and especially for doing it so quickly.

Cheers.
