Preview Pane Fun

You have Outlook Express and would like to know if there's a way to delete an e-mail before opening it. As soon as you click on the e-mail in question, it displays in the preview area and locks up your computer. What should you do?

Want an easy way to turn off (or on) your Outlook Express preview pane? You can add a button to your toolbar for it! Here's how:

This seems to happen a lot with Outlook Express, judging by all the questions we get. However, you'll be glad to know it's easy to fix. Just hit the View menu, Layout.

1. Right-click the Toolbar in Outlook Express and select Customize from the resulting menu.

2. Scroll down the "Available toolbar buttons" list until you find a button labeled"Preview". Click the button (to select it) and then click the "Add" button to add it to your toolbar.

That's it. Close the screen and click the Preview pane button on your toolbar to toggle the preview pane on and off.
