Before you can do anything in Microsoft Outlook, you’ll need to know the ins and outs, i.e. how to sign in and out of your email account.
Signing in is relatively easy, but once you’re entrenched in the Outlook UI, you may have trouble figuring out how to sign out. And depending on the device, you may not be able to sign out of Outlook without deleting or deleting your account.
Specifically, for those using the Outlook desktop app for Mac or the Outlook mobile app, “signing out” in the traditional sense isn’t really possible. In the mobile app, your phone’s built-in security features serve as a way to keep your inbox safe unless you decide to delete your account from the app.
For those using the latest versions of the email client, Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016, all of your account information is linked to your device’s user account and is stored locally on your computer. that means anyone will be able to access it if you log in through your user account, unless you delete it.
If you really want to protect your account on your mobile device and computer, there are several ways to keep your messages safe.
Here’s how to sign out of Outlook on all devices.
