At some point signing out of Outlook started redirecting to MSN. This is really frustrating - especially when accidently clicking anywhere on the screen that is NOT the login field causes the login form to disappear.

How do I disable this redirect? I would like to see the outlook login page when I sign out - not the MSN news page.

    im using firefox and heres how i did it

    1. download greasemonkey plugin (tools, extensions, search and install)
    2. get script to stop msn re-direct from greasyfork website (find it once you install greasemonkey)
    3. install script

    the script is pretty intuitive and once installed you can to to script settings and set any destination page you want. the default simply puts you back to the hotmail login page. i set mine so it goes to google.

    i was frustrated like many,,, and i hate the mumbo jumbo, platitudes and run around im seeing so i hope this helps.

    make it a great day

    Well, I just sent my feedback about Outlook.com, and hopefully lots of others are doing the same. :-)

    (Note to disgruntled users: not much point blasting the forum moderators about this issue, as their hands are tied. If you work for a Ford dealership, and you tell your customer "Go buy a Toyota, they're better", how long do you think you will be on Henry's payroll? :-) )

    Cheers,

    Roger V.

    Hi Judith R,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    As we have said before you will be redirected to MSN.com after you sign out of Outlook.com. There are no currently available feature to disable this. We strongly suggest that you send your suggestions about this to our feedback forum:

    Feedback

    Also, to prevent getting spam email, set your Junk-filtering level to exclusive. This will block all incoming messages and you will receive emails only from trusted senders.

    Please follow these steps to setup your junk e-mail filter in Outlook:

    1. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
    2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the gear icon, and then click Options.
    3. Under Preventing junk email, click Filters and reporting.
    4. Under Filters and reporting, select the options that you want, and then click Save.

    If you choose Exclusive for your junk e-mail filter, only messages from e-mail addresses on your Contacts or Allowed senders lists appear in your Inbox. Messages from senders not on those lists are automatically sent to the Junk e-mail folder.

    You should occasionally check your junk e-mail folder to make sure that good messages are not sent there by mistake.

    How to block/unblock a sender:

    1. Sign in to https://outlook.com
    2. Click the gear icon located at the upper-right side of the page.
    3. Select Options settings.
    4. Under Preventing junk email, click Safe and blocked senders.
    5. Click Blocked senders. 
    6. Enter the email address or domain on the box labeled Blocked email address or domain: and click Add to list >> or <<Remove from list

    Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

    Thank you
