    no logout - microsoft account

    I'm not really sure what the exact nature of your problem is but you need a Microsoft account setup on the phone to be able to access the store and download apps. The same account is also used to backup content on the phone to your MS account online such
    as contacts, pictures & videos (Skydrive), messages and applications list & data.



    As Farby suggested, you can tell the phone not to sync emails from this MS account if you want but you cannot remove your MS account for the above stated reasons.
