If you want to sign out of your email account in the new Outlook app in Windows 11, here is how you can do it. As there is no direct option to log out of your email account in the new Outlook desktop app, you need to follow these manual methods to get the job done.
Windows 11’s new Outlook app can handle multiple email accounts from various providers, including Gmail, Outlook, etc. If you added more than one email account in the Outlook app and now want to remove one of them, you can do so. For your information, the Outlook app doesn’t offer a Sign out or Log out option directly. You have to either remove your email account or access the Where you’re signed in panel in your Gmail account to get it done.
The first method works with any email account, whether it is an Outlook, Gmail, IMAP, or POP account. On the other hand, the second method lets you sign out of your Gmail account from the Outlook app.
