How do I unconnect my Skype account from my Hotmail (Microsoft) account?

Hi there,

 

I would like to unconnect my Skype account from my Hotmail because I find whenever I sign into my Hotmail account on my computer all my messages from Skype load onto my Hotmail.  I find it really annoying and I can't figure out how to delete the messages from my Hotmail even.  Is there any way to just unconnect my two accounts from eachother and make them seperate accounts not associated to eachother?  I thought that having it this way would be easier but now I'm just finding it annoying.  Please and thank you in advance!! Any ideas on how to would be much appreciated! I don't know if this matters but my computer is a Windows PC. :)

 

Thank you!

Outlook.com SETTINGS FLAW

16. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I AM ANGRY: outlook.com keeps setting me AVAILABLE when I want to be INVISIBLE.

(People are pestering me constantly, thinking I am online with SKYPE when I am not... )


This has to be the BIGGEST SINGLE INFRINGEMENT on my personal privacy I have EVER encountered on the internet.

A TRUSTED service like Outlook is constantly setting my "online presence" AVAILABLE in both Outlook chat and SKYPE.

 

BEHIND MY BACK!!!!!!

 

No matter how many times I specifically set it to INVISBLE, it keeps popping back to the AVAILABLE Setting.

 

I have tried the "hosts file hack" workaround, ( 0.0.0.0 geo.messenger.services.live.com ) and obviously it doesn't work

 

I am ready to cancel SKYPE and cancel My Outlook mail accounts, and for that matter, ready to stop using ALL Microsoft apps and operating systems.

Not just personally, but COMPANY WIDE...

 

When are you going to FIX this travesty??

Online presence should be INVISIBLE BY DEFAULT, and it should STAY THAT WAY unless I specifically set it otherwise!!!

 

DISGRUNTLED is putting it lightly...

Facebook and Skype are not sync to Outlook!! Help!!!!

I have merged my outlook account with Facebook and Skype. I was able to see the contacts from Skype in my outlook account but their names doesn't appear when I try to message them. I cannot send message to them. Furthermore, after merging my outlook account with Facebook, the contacts from Facebook are not displaying on my outlook account. What I'm going to do for me to fix this?

Outlook.com early adopters get extra SkyDrive space and free Skype group video

Everywhere on the Internet people (early adopters) is claiming they have received an email to give them a couple of gifts as a celebration of Outlook.com anniversary.

One is a promo code for SkyDrive that gives them 3GB of extra free space on the cloud data storage service for a year. The other gift sent to Outlook.com early adopters is a code for Skype that offers one free month of Skype group video calling for up to 10 people.

Full description here: http://www.neowin.net/news/outlookcom-early-adopters-get-extra-skydrive-space-and-free-skype-group-video

As I have been using Hotmail for almost 13 years and I was one of the first to change my Live ID to Outlook.com (by mistake btw), I supposed I was going to receive this but I didn't. Then I analyzed the situation and the reason could be because I already have 25Gb free.

So what's wrong about receiving 3Gb more and some Skype coupons? Why excluding those who have more than 7Gb?

All my emails since before 2004 have been deleted from my hotmail account. How do I get them back?

I have had over 1000 emails on my hotmail account from before 2004 and they contained quite a lot of passwords, contacts and notices from communities I've been involved in.

Given that I cannot sign into my Live Messenger without it trying to overwrite my current Skype (with an OLDER version than I have), I have not checked my email in a couple of years. Most of my messages are facebook as well and I check that online.

I received no warning email to my backup email address to warn me of Hotmail becoming inactive, or that my messages would be deleted.

There is a lot of vital information in the archived emails I lost and I would like them back. Can someone from hotmail please sort this out?

I have connected my Skype account to the Microsoft one but I still can`t access skype from Outlook.com inbox, while in Skydrive i can?

Hi.

I have connected my Skype account to the Microsoft one, but I still can`t access Skype from my Inbox. While, in the same time,  I can use it from Skydrive.

 

So, while Skydrive connects to Skype, I can`t use my Skype through Outlook.com, People & Calendar.

All my preferences are set to English (US).

 

Please suggest something.

Thanks

Skype in Outlook.com doesn’t work via corporate VPN and Proxy

10. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hello,

 

I've recently got a Skype in Outlook.com rolled out and it works great apart from working via corporate VPN and Proxy server.

Basically I don't see Skype contacts when I connect to the network via corporate VPN and refresh Outlook.com/People/etc web page.

 

However there is a workaround. I can chat with Skype friends being logged in into corporate VPN only if I quickly change the setting in IE to Corporate Proxy in order to browse the web and won't refresh the web page with Outlook.

If the web page is refreshed being logged in into VPN then the Skype contacts dissapear...

 

Interestingly that Skype contact and Skype icon move back when I am disconnected from VPN and refresh the web page again...

 

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Many thanks,

Dmitry
