How do I switch between two different outlook accounts to read each-one personal one business

The only method I have to switch between accounts is to log out of one, close the browser and log into the other. Is there any simpler method?

Hi LauraGilkes,

 

I suggest that you link your accoutns to manage both without logging out of one.

 

To link your Microsoft accounts, please follow the steps:

 

  1. Log in to https://account.live.com/Permissions
  2. Click on Manage linked accounts.
  3. Select Add linked account.
  4. Enter the Microsoft account you  want to link and password.
  5. Click Link.

 

Note: Once linked, you can use one email and password only in logging in to manage multiple accounts. To toggle between accounts, just click on the drop down button beside your name.

Thanks,

Maribel

Login to one account in Internet Explorer.

Alt + F, new session

Go to http://www.outlook.com and login with the other account.

Now you are logged in to both accounts.

 

If you have two different browsers, you can login to a different account with each browser.

I tried this and there is no option to add another account from Hotmail or live mail.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much,
