How do I set my status to appear offline in outlook

[Guest]

If I have my messenger set to appear offline will the same rule apply when I
open outlook.

and

If I have several hotmail addresses and not all are set to appear offline
when opening will the hotmail in outlook automatically appear online???

How can I control my status in outlook

Aloha tryingtohidewithoutoffence,

Outlook only gets your status from Messenger. So whatever Messenger says
you are, that's what Outlook thinks you are.

does not offer this basic information..however, I am a technonovice and

Gents - how cna I have Communicator present me as offline FROM LOGIN. I.e. I
want it to start up, but NOT to show me online.

Please advise.

I would ask in an Office Communicator news group - the experts in that
program seldom, if ever, visit the Outlook groups.
