thanks for trying to help but what i'm trying to do is prevent the auto opening of emails in the view screen
i can't work out how to change the settings so that the emails only open when i tap on them- rather than the first email in the list auto opening when i go into the email program.
has anyone found out how to do this - prevent emails auto opening?
Turn your PlayBook to portrait orientation and the messages will list just like they do on the phone. There's no way to change the auto-preview in landscape view.
