Microsoft Outlook is a popular email client used by many individuals and businesses. One of its features is the mail list, where you can view all your emails in a convenient list format. By default, when you scroll through the mail list using your mouse wheel, it moves multiple lines at a time. However, if you prefer a slower scrolling speed, you can adjust the settings to make it scroll only one line per mouse wheel notch. In this article, we will guide you through the process of slowing down scrolling in the mail list in Outlook (.exe) to one line per mouse wheel notch.
Step 1: Open Outlook Options
The first step is to open the Outlook Options window. To do this, open Outlook and click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the window. In the File menu, click on "Options" to open the Outlook Options window.
Step 2: Navigate to the Advanced Settings
In the Outlook Options window, you will see a list of different settings categories on the left side. Click on the "Advanced" category to navigate to the advanced settings.
Step 3: Find the Mouse Wheel Scrolling Options
Scroll down in the advanced settings until you find the "Outlook panes" section. Within this section, you will see a checkbox labeled "Enable mouse wheel scrolling in mail view". Make sure this checkbox is checked.
Step 4: Adjust the Scrolling Speed
Below the checkbox, you will find a dropdown menu labeled "The number of lines to scroll for each notch on the mouse wheel". By default, this is set to "Multiple lines at a time". Click on the dropdown menu and select "One line at a time" from the options.
Step 5: Apply the Changes
Once you have selected "One line at a time", click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the Outlook Options window to apply the changes. The mail list scrolling speed will now be set to one line per mouse wheel notch.
That's it! You have successfully slowed down the scrolling in the mail list in Outlook to one line per mouse wheel notch. Now you can scroll through your emails at a more comfortable pace.
If you ever want to revert back to the default scrolling speed, simply follow the same steps and select "Multiple lines at a time" in the dropdown menu in Step 4.
