Vista - Setting Up Windows Mail

09-12-2007

I'm new to Windows Vista and trying to learn the windows mail. What I want
to do is get a better separation between my incoming messages and the actual
email below. I can click on the bar between (from and subject) and it will
highlight in blue but it won't stay that way. Is there a way to make this a
permanent feature? Thanks!

Hi Richard,

Yes, move the mouse pointer over the line between the message pane and the preview pane until it turns into a double arrow, and then left click and hold and drag it to the size that you want it to be.

No. Many of us beta testers complained to Microsoft about the
indistinct and miniscule separation lines, but MS insisted it was
a fixed part of their GUI design scheme.
