How do I change it so that whenever I click on a new email notification it doesn't open up a new tab?

I have already ensured the "Popout Only" setting has been turned off on my reading panel. Even with the Classic Outlook, I do not have the "open replies and forwards in new window" option selected. Both versions are having the same issue.

Hi @1.1,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, you would like to configure Outlook so that when you click on a new notification, instead of opening a new window, the content will be displayed directly within the application. I would like to provide you with the following information:

At this time, there is no setting in New Outlook to prevent a new window from opening when you click on a notification.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

I look forward to continuing the conversation.

Note: Please follow the steps in our documentation to enable e-mail notifications if you want to receive the related email notification for this thread.
