In the Outlook component of Microsoft Office 365, when jumping between mails in a conversation, the email pane scrolls back and forth at varying speed for a second or two until it settles on its target.
How can I turn off this graphical annoyance and get a snappy transition to the target?
More generally, I would like to turn off any and all smooth scrolling anywhere in Office 365 which I'm surely yet to discover.
I'm open to a solution that involves a userscript, but I'd prefer something that works in all main browsers including IE 8.

I got this from a blog help article and it stopped Excel 365 from animating the transition from one cell to the new one I was clicking, which is similar to the problem you are describing:
Right click on My Computer icon on the Desktop and choose Properties option OR just hit Win+Pause
In the System window click the "Advanced System Settings" link in the left pane
Click Continue button if prompted by UAC
Now click Settings button under "Performance" section
Select "Custom:" and check the option "Animate controls and elements inside windows" to disable animations
Click OK button
Click OK button in the System Properties window -- Done.
