Vista - Delete mail > return to Inbox Windows Mail

Just got a new laptop with Vista and I'm using Windows Mail. After reading
an email and deleting it, I want to return to the inbox, instead of having
the next message open. I used to be able to do this in Outlook but can't
seem to find the option to change it in Windows mail.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

You will have to turn the preview pane off.
View, Layout, uncheck "View preview pane."

Thanks for the reply. I had tried that before and it still does the same
thing, even with the preview pane turned off. I have closed Windows Mail and
re-started it also.

Sorry, you are correct. All you can do is close that message and
then delete it from the message list.
