Can you resize the panes?

It's a kind of patience test!

Is there an answer on this? I've searched high and low and I can not figure
out how to resize the message list and message preview panes. I can't
imagine why this feature would have been left out.

Thanks,
Charlie

There is a very small line between the h scrollbar in the message list and
the beginning of the Preview Pane. If you position the mouse over this
line, then you'll get a resize cursor that lets you adjust the relative size
of the windows.

I ended up trying to find the 'small line' for a couple of minutes and
couldn't. I'm a fast mouse user. I ended up slowing the mouse cursor
to about half and turning on the enhance precision setting. This allowed my
cursor to find the line and change the size of the panes with no problem at
all.

Thanks for your time.

I think there is also an issue some have reported with dpi settings making
it very hard to find, so that may have contributed.

I noticed that Windows Explorer appears to have the same thin lines as in
Windows Mail, but it seems that Windows Explorer provides a thicker line to
the mouse pointer than Windows Mail. Apparently, Microsoft hasn't fully user
tested all the applications because it would seem to me that this is an easy
fix. How do we suggest to Microsoft that they change Windows Mail to have
the same lines as Windows Explorer?
