One of the reasons Outlook is such a popular email client is the numerous customization options and the ability to personalize and adapt the layout to suit your preferred style. In addition to adjusting the width of the reading panes and mailbox, you can also change the display density and overall density of the Outlook app.
Outlook’s Display Density
The display density in Outlook refers to the number of messages you can see and the number of messages displayed in the inbox column. You can adapt the density settings and choose your preferred layout between Compact, Cozy, and Roomy.
