Before you can do anything in Microsoft Outlook, you'll need to know the ins and outs – that is, how to log in and log out of your email account.

Logging in is relatively straightforward, but once you're entrenched in Outlook's user interface, you might have trouble figuring out how to sign out. And depending on the device, you may not be able to log out of Outlook without deleting or removing your account.

Specifically, for those using the Outlook desktop app for Mac or the Outlook mobile app, 'logging out' in the traditional sense isn't really possible. On 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 email client's most recent versions, Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016, all your account information is tied to your device's user account and stored locally on your computer. That means it will be accessible to anyone if they log in through your user account, unless you remove it.

If you really want to protect your account on your mobile device and computer, there are several ways to keep your messages secure.

Here's how to log out of Outlook across devices.

This topic explains how to customize the color and images of the sign-in, language selection, and error pages for Outlook Web App.

The Outlook Web App sign-in, language selection, and error pages are created based on graphics and .css files in the themes resources folder. Outlook Web App uses only one set of sign-in, language selection, and error pages for all themes. Any modifications to those pages will be seen by all users. You can find the theme resources folder in the Exchange installation directory at V15FrontEndHttpProxyowaauthversionthemesresources. You'll need a text editor to change the default colors, and a graphics editor to change the images. If you must match a specific color and you can't find a match for it at Color Table, you can use an image editing tool to sample a color and determine its HTML RGB value.

If you have multiple servers supporting Outlook Web App and want them all to use the same sign-in, language, and error pages, you must copy the modified files to each server. You should also create a back-up copy of your customized files. If you reinstall or upgrade Exchange, all files in the themes folders will be overwritten. You'll have to copy your customized files back to the appropriate folder after the reinstallation or upgrade is complete.

Important

Back up copies of all the files that you'll be changing before you start to create your custom sign-in and sign-out pages.

For information about creating a custom theme, see Create a theme for Outlook Web App.

What do you need to know before you begin?

  • Estimated time to complete this task: 45 minutes.

  • You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure or procedures. To see what permissions you need, see the 'Graphics editor' entry under 'Outlook Web App Permissions' in the Clients and mobile devices permissions topic.

  • For information about keyboard shortcuts that may apply to the procedures in this topic, see Keyboard shortcuts in the Exchange admin center.
