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!

SING IT FROM THE HILLTOPS! IT WORKS!!!

I added all of them to my hosts file, no worries about Skype- I mentioned I had un-installed it from my Desktop (never used it, never even initialized it) much less from within my Hotmail account. If I ever do, I will pick and choose (or ask!) and go from there.

Don't even get the Invisible/Visible options anymore!

THANK YOU so much, Travis, you deserve 5 Gold stars! You're a genius, I wish I could mark your response as the Answer, it's not an option for me. One BIG thing and annoyance marked off my list, I really cannot thank you enough.

On to bug M$ about the other zillion things :). But I really can't thank you enough!

My Best to the Best,

Looks like the domain has changed. Adding this to the host file thankfully won't effect the Skype desktop app.

0.0.0.0 login.skype.com

Additionally I found more traffic linked to domains related to skype. Adding these could potentially block the entireity of Skype, so these are optional.

0.0.0.0 ui.skype.com

0.0.0.0 kes.skype.com

0.0.0.0 apps.skype.com

0.0.0.0 api.mcr.skype.com

0.0.0.0 api.asm.skype.com

0.0.0.0 prod.tpc.skype.com

0.0.0.0 contacts.skype.com

0.0.0.0 a.config.skype.com

0.0.0.0 static.asm.skype.com

0.0.0.0 prod.registrar.skype.com

0.0.0.0 geo.gateway.messenger.live.com

0.0.0.0 static-asm.secure.skypeassets.com

0.0.0.0 client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com

Hope this helps!
