I want to know how I can make the "From:" "Sent:" "To:" "Subject:" go away because it's really distracting.

    Unfortunately, the provided context does not include specific instructions or settings related to customizing the display of email details such as "From:", "Sent:", "To:", and "Subject:" in Outlook on the web. Therefore, I cannot provide a solution for your question regarding how to remove these details from your email view.

    For assistance with Outlook settings, I recommend checking the official Microsoft Outlook support documentation or the settings menu within your Outlook web application for options related to email display preferences.

    Hi,

    Those extra details “From:”, “Sent:”, “To:”, “Subject:” appear because Outlook’s web layout is set to show full message headers for clarity.

     

    What you can do is:

    Click the gear icon → View all Outlook settings → Mail > Layout > Reading pane.

    Under Message header, select Hide and Save.

     

    Happy to help!
