I have a few Hotmail & Outlook.com type email accounts which are usually used for signups etc but I can't seem to find a way of being logged in to two accounts at the same in the same browser. I can fire up another browser or use Normal Mode for one & Private Mode for a second but I can't find a way to have multiple accounts open in one window.

Anyone know how to do this?

I'm not interested in adding then to my Office 365 Outlook email pane as I don't want to pollute that with these throwaway accounts.

You can't, much like you can't log in to any website with two accounts in the same browser at the same time.

You would need to use a separate email client, or have all email forwarded to a single account.

As above, different browsers if on a desktop. On a phone if you use the Outlook app [and I assume any decent mail client] you can have both accounts on at once.

Thanks all, two browsers is how I have to work at the moment.

Used to be able to, but they stopped it.
One in regular, one in incognito (chrome) still works, but not ideal
