Updated to 38.3.0 but lost the convenience of single point and click to open an email. I want that feature back , so how do I do it?

It has always taken a double click to open a message in a tab or window. A single click will display the message in the Message Pane if you have that turned on. F8 toggles the message Pane on and off.
