skype
Please DO NOT include Skype as a mandatory feature. I understand it may help some people to have Skype load upon logging into their Outlook account, but for others, it's disturbing.
Please provide a way to completely disable Skype's connectivity to Outlook.

Please strongly consider giving us the option to use or turn off the Photos and Attachments directories and also Skype. I personally do not use Skype and I do not like that all photos and attachments are automatically copied to a separate directory in addition to still being part of my email msg. Please give us the option to use a feature or not. Thank you

Please give me hotmail back - you just keep making it worse! Please disconnect Skype from outlook - I don't want to be available all the time. Please listen to what your users have been telling you since you started wrecking hotmail in the first place!

Hi UserVoice. Please send this immediately to Microsoft, as I do not wish to hear from a third-party service. No offense to you.
First of all, this new BETA version stinks. Secondly, I don't want anything to do with Skype. Having to change to Invisible EVERY GOD FORSAKEN TIME I log in is a joke!. Thirdly, you took away the ability to view the Message Source. Without that, I can no longer view all the pertinanent details from the junk emailer. This is CRUCIAL information to "attempt" to block them! Since your Junk Email filter is absolutely non existent, I keep my assumption that you get money from them. Your filter doesn't recognize when an email is sent "On behalf of me" through another Outlook email address. This is their newest way to get through to my inbox. I talk with folks who have Gmail, and they get ZERO junk email. Your combined new version along with the 30+ junk emails I get a day have pushed me to Gmail. Thanks for nothing you greedy, uncaring bastards!
P.S. I'm available to chat about your failing ways. Feel free to email me at xxxxxxl@hotmail.com (For a little while longer) and I will gladly give you my opinions on how to improve your services. Be well, Glenn R

I don't want my hotmail associated to skype but neither previous versions nor new versions of outlook seem to understand my frustration as a user to be forced to have a "feature" that is not to do with emails

I want to remove skype from my microsoft account. Every time I see te skype icon on the outlook.com website, and everytime I see the skype icon on any microsoft service that I paying for, I get immediately very angry because I hate skype. I want to be able to completely delete any skype integration from my microsoft account. Because of this forced skype integration, I'm always recommending frinds and colleagues and my employer to move away from Microsoft into the Google platform. Google does not push anything, and allows me to delete products I don't want from my google account.

I would like to have skype removed from my email. It pops up everytime and I can delete it. It's annoying and it only happens in outlook. Can you fix it.

I would also like to see this removed. I have my own Skype account that I've had for years, not linked to this hotmail address. I keep this email account just for legacy. I don't want anything else linked to it. Now I have this second Skype account that I can't disable and I also have Skype contacts showing in my Outlook that I can't remove!! Despite deleting them from the integrated Skype. I don't want it, please remove it.

Hello, not too happy wit the new Skyp integration, takes forever to load and the old way with the side panel was so much more user friendly. The new window is tiny. Is there a way to get the old side panel back?
