Hi, Using WLM 8.0. I have an account set up from a past employee. It is
based on our company email addresses. I would like to remove the account. I
do not want to disconnect the email account as there may still be business
realted emails coming in that has an auto-reply on help.

I see this past employee's alert that they logged in come up, I do not wnat
this person using my business name for their personal use.

Thanks

Greetings Rob,

If you have the password of the account then the Passport can be cancelled at
https://account.live.com/CloseAccount.aspx.

If you do not, there is nothing stopping them from using that e-mail address. In fact even
if you were to remove the e-mail address on your e-mail server, he still can continue to use
that account on Messenger.
