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

This is horrible. Not only does Hotmail suck in comparison to gmail but the users are doing testing for them and telling them how their product work. This forum is to get answers from you and not for us to tell you how your product work. 

You lied (or atleast didn't know which is same) on my last thread. I'm stuck with Hotmail because I got it way back but pls you guyz need to step up as well.

Hi TrizMA,

We understand your frustration over this matter. I would suggest that you download and use Windows Live Messenger. Once you are signed in to that mail client, click your name on the upper right corner of the page -- it will show you the number of places you are signed in, then click sign out from everywhere. In addition, it is highly advisable to frequently change your password.

For everyone else having this issue, I hope you find the workaround helpful.

Thanks!

NOPE !

First of all, you should have put a link in for WLM.  Secondly, when I went to microsoft.com, it tried to download WLM for a 64 bit machine (this is XP here).  Finally, I found the link for WLM, and I downloaded the XP version.  Immediately upon starting it, I remembered why I dumped it the last time - there must have been 25 spam requests to friend me.  And each one had to be dealt with individually, with NO, then block, then report as spam, then are you sure.  Cmon.  This is not rocket science.

How did ******@-o-o-o-.com get my hotmail address?  Just guess it?  I dont think so.

FINALLY, I was left with my WLM.  I told it to make me invisible, but it changed my mind for me.  Each time.  I sign in, and I go to my name.  My only choice is "sign out from here."

Is this an XP thing?

Then I go look at options.

Again, MS has set up this product to be considerably NOT SECURED.

Automatic signin when I connect to internet as default?

So I have "show me all other places I'm signed in when I sign in" checked

So I signed in from another IP address.

I get NO notice when I sign in here.

So despite my excitement, this DOES NOT WORK, or I am doing something wrong.

Like TrizMa said

And you should have your facts correct, which you do not.

I did some more work.  I <GAG !> installed WLM on a 64 bit Win 7 computer. 

If I sign in on WINDOWS LIVE in several computers, then I can see all of them from any WINDOWS LIVE signon.

But

I am signed into WL on this computer (XP)

I am signed into hotmail without WL on two other computers.  One is Win 7, other is Win XP.

This WL installation sees only one sign on.  So it appears that WL can detect other WL signons but NOT hotmail.

Just to be sure, I clicked "sign out from everywhere."

All of the WL accounts were terminated, but none of the hotmail accounts were closed.

Thus, we are back to square 1.

And we have a MODERATOR handing out incorrect information.

So the questions remain:

Why does Microsoft put products on the market that provide NO security

Why does my WLM keep making me available when I keep checking "appear offline?"

Why is WEBCAM enabled by default?

And GUESS WHAT? 

My hotmail is likely still open on some browser where I want it to be closed.
