Lost/stolen iphone - how to log out of Hotmail remotely

My iPhone has been stolen and I am concerned because there is a browser window open and logged in to Hotmail. 

How can I log out of all Hotmail sessions, thereby closing the one on the iPhone remotely?

There is also a quick link to email on the homepage of the iPhone, but I have changed the Hotmail password which I believe stops this working, whereas the browser window stays logged in even after the password has been changed.

I have found advice elsewhere that says you can log out of all sessions by going to "options", "personal", but I cannot find these options on my Hotmail.

    Any further update on this? 

    I too (along with many others on this read) see this as a major flaw, and can't believe that this still isn't resolved.

    I would love to close every distant session since some of my friends receive emails from me that I never sent to them. I thought about changing my password but since I can see no connection occured (besides mines) it would be pointless.

    Will any Microsoft's employee tell me that MS "understands that this feature is important" to us but nothing has been done since 3 years to implement it ? Or is it finally an easy way to protect my account ?

    I can not believe this. After three years and still nothing ? Today the person who stole my phone will keep access to my email because I was not aware of how awful as a tech company you are, Microsoft.

    I am getting rid of each and every product I own that's related to you. Your stupidity scares me. I can not allow myself to be around people like you.
