    Hello Adriana H Hi, I'm Karl and will be happy to help you today. There is no logoff option in the "new Outlook" which is no different than the Mail app which it will eventually permanently replace. The "new Outlook" is essentially "Outlook on the web" wrapped in an app framework with the added functionality to add external IMAP accounts. Unlike accessing sn Outlook.com account via a browser which only involved the one account, the "new Outlook" can hav up to 10 accounts configured. As for the "File" tab, that only applies to the classic Outlook desktop program (part of Office). There is also no logoff option in Outlook desktop. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, we're here to help you further if needed.

    Hi Karl

    I have the same issue. From my laptop I've logged out on the outlook browser, so I do have to log in with password so that's ok, but I can't log out of the new outlook app.

    I've removed account which says it will sign you out, but it doesn't

         Manage Account
    
    • In Accounts > Email Accounts click Manage
    • Click Remove

    I've deleted the New outlook app, but if it is opened on a search, my email accounts show and it goes straight into both my mail accounts without asking for a password. I've signed out of all microsoft accounts, forget trusted device, removed my laptop from microsoft account and more that has been suggested when searching on this subject, but still on the app on laptop it goes straight into both my mail accounts.

    Surely there must be a way to sign out of my mail accounts on the new outlook app. This is such a security risk. I need to leave my laptop with a repair shop and they will be able to access all my email accounts

    I couldn't figure out how to log out but I was able to "remove" my account from the app effectively logging me out of it.

    Here is what I did:

    • Hover over your email/account name on the left above "Inbox"
    • Click the 3 dots
    • Click Manage Account
    • In Accounts > Email Accounts click Manage
    • Click Remove

    I NEED A LOG OUT OPTION NOW! This needs to be addressed ASAP.... I am having issues with my outlook email not receiving any emails or being able to send them out even though everything in outlook seems to have sent it and working properly... When I test by sending an email from my GMAIL it appears in Gmail to have sent correctly but i NEVER receive anything on my outlook. It WAS working even though I have numerous complaints on the options and functions.. my last email recieved was 6/5/2024... it is 6/28/24 and i have supposed to have received hundreds of emails which I never received. I am simply trying to sign out and sign back in to hopefully address this issue, and I have already deleted and re-set my outlook multiple times.. (Gmail is HIGHLY superior to Outlook and I'm considering petitioning my company to walk away from outlook completely and moving our whole company to Gmail the service and usability of the "new outlook" is abysmal and totally unacceptable from not only a private/personal perspective, but detrimental to companies and important communication world wide.... It also seems like changing over the new outlook from the old, and the mail app is not being worked on at ALL and the many MANY issues posted, tracked and brought to Microsoft's attention is intentionally never addressed.)

    Log into the web based version and sign out of your account from the right upper corner.

    This is very problematic! I'm logged in on an office I only have available until tomorrow. II have tried quitting and restarting the app, but it automatically opens my email for everyone to see. Will follow to see if someone finds a solution
