You will still be able to receive and send emails through your Outlook or Hotmail email accounts, work in Calendar, etc. This will make you 'permanently' Invisible when you log in to your email account so Microsoft cannot broadcast to others in your Contacts list, who also have a Outlook or Hotmail email address, that you're Available. Then click 'OK' and exit the Domain Blocker. Once in the Domain Blocker window, left click 'Add' then type in the rectangular box:

In Linux Mint there is a utility program installed by default under the Systems setting named, 'Domain Blocker'. In Windows 7, one needs to access the Hosts file and type in this address (which is below) then save it and then exit the Hosts file:īTW, there is a space between the number '0' and 'swx'. It works both in Windows 7 which is my backup operating system (and it should work in Windows 8/8.1/10) and also in Linux Mint. So I surfed the internet to find a way to keep me PERMANENTLY invisible all the time when I log in without messing with the settings anymore which don't seem to work by design or maybe Microsoft's Outlook servers where 'forgetting things' last night.Īnyhow I did find the solution. But last night, when I changed the setting to 'Invisible', after about 20 seconds of time, Outlook changed my 'Invisible' setting back to 'Available'. Everytime when I access my Hotmail email account through, after about 15 seconds, Outlook by default always makes me 'Available' while I'm in and I've always had to change the setting to 'Invisible'. I eventually changed it back through 'Settings'. And it wouldn't allow me to move it into the 'Focus' heading. They divided it into 'Focus/Other' and it didn't sit well with me because all of my important emails like tracking numbers for packages went into the 'Other' heading. A few weeks ago Microsoft made a policy change in with regards to a person's Inbox withoug notifying me.
