First, I have an @msn.com email address. This is not an Office 365 business email address!
All the links in my email prefaced with the https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com. Looking this up is part of the Exchange advanced threat protection package which they talk about in Office 365 for business. How do I turn this off for my personal @msn.com email account. It is actually causing more problems for me than it "protects" me so I need to turn this off. How do I turn this off? Again, this is happening on a personal account, not a business account.
Thanks.

the link does not work as i am not a security officer. i have been a loyal hotmail and outlook customer for 15 years and NOW I CANt OPEN LINKS FROM TRUSTED SIGHTS SUCH AS - GUESS WHAT? -MICROSOFT.
this is complete BS. i am changing to gmail permanently.
I was having this problem with my Android phone using both the outlook app and going to outlook.live.com in my browsers. I tried finding the premium choice to turn this off but it wasnt showing up. I finally used my laptop to open the outlook webmail page. I finally found the premium choice. It looks like a diamond icon next to the settings cog icon on the top right. Once I clicked on Premium, I found the Security choice. There was the Advanced security option and I turned it off. Success!!!! Now when I click on links inside my android outlook app, instead of seeing the safe links, it goes right to the web page for the link. At least I know how to fix this if Microsoft tries to re enable it on me...
This is causing major problems with sharing links on our website. Customers aren't able to open the button or banner links because of this.
There needs to be an easier way to turn this off.
Excerpt of my correspondence with the Support:
I understand that „safe links“ thing was suddenly re-enabled for each of my aliases. Please explain: why did that happen, how did that happen, when will it happen again!?
Back in December, we had to learn that „safe links“ have to be disabled per alias, rather than per account respectively mailbox. We went all through that, „safe links“ actually were disabled for my primary, as well as for the concerning secondary ...@live.de alias. Please find attached the full correspondence from back in December.
Again, please explain: why did that happen, how did that happen, when will it happen again!?
Further, please permit to ask, what came over Microsoft to release such half-baked thing to the public without opt-in!?
They turned it back on again! What the ...!?!? I'll have to go through this for the third time now! 💣
I really wish microsuck would stop screwing around.
Now i cant attach a file to an email and send it.
It puts a link up so the actual file is downloaded into a browser. I am not a young tech savy kid who wants to learn new things all the time. I have searched on google how to turn it off. gone into settings - attachements - and clicked off the preferences, but it doesnt seem to respond to this. My attachments still come thru as a link from onedrive. I dont want that.
