Hi Everyone,

I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you on your end. Please be informed though that the option to sign out of Messenger in Outlook.com is not available. Like what the previous moderators have mentioned, the current option that we have is to set your status as invisible. Also, if you are signed onto Windows Live Messenger, you have the option to Sign out from the web, this would disable your Web messenger in the meantime.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks!

Firstly, please don't swear. This is a family forum.

Secondly, the people on this forum, even MVPs, are not employed by Microsoft. We are just ordinary users like you who freely come on here to help other users. Demanding we "fix it" won't help.

Thirdly, I quite like outlook.com but, like you, I don't like the current messenger issue. It's one of the few hassles I have with outlook.com. Microsoft are not likely to see much of what is posted on these forums as they are only for supporting users, but if you use the link below you can leave feedback.

I've used this link to complain about a couple of my dislikes about outlook.com.

Hi Joe13_13,

I apologize for the frustration that this issue has caused on you.

I can see you wish to turn off Messenger in Outlook.com. Let me see how I can help.

I've simulated my Outlook interface and found out that the steps below turn off Messenger in Outlook.com:

1. Sign in your account.

Go to People or Mail Page.
Click on the human figure symbol and click on Invisible.

If issue persists, please let us know so we can help you further resolve your issue.

Thanks!

Was supposed to be a general reply to the whole topic!!!!!

I used reply button as other says "with quote".. reply on most forums is for general reply to the main topic not to the last post!! "quote is usually last post."

So please read my post as it is intended!

The poster using adblock is right in what he says it does block it!!

I am not disputing that!

but if like myself having six different browsers in use it would mean doing it six times, that's even if you can install adblock in them all in first place!!

So my way is clean and simple. do it in the host file and it controls all browsers.... why do many times when can do once!!??
