Ay way to REQUIRE a password for Outlook?

[Verizon User]

I use a computer, shared by others.
I would like Outlook to ask for a password if someone double clicks it, so
nobody else can read my mail.

I cannot log off of windows as it needs to be a shared PC.

Is there a solution?
I know Outlook Express has such a feature- but not Outlook.

The only workaround I can think of is to require a password protector
program to require a password if someone tries to run outlook.

By the way, I don't need NSA level security- just a simple popup that makes
it difficult for a novice to run outlook.

Any easy solution?


Thanks!

you can password your pst but must close outlook when you walk away from the
computer. If you use Exchange server, you can configure outlook to require a
password to log on to the mail server instead of using the computer logon.

Thanks for the quick response.

I do use an exchange server. Where and how do I configure outlook to
require a pw?

Thanks a million!

In the account configuration, more settings button, set it to always prompt
for logon. I'm thinking that versions prior to 2007 also have a selection
for 'none' for auth., which also forces you to logon when opening Outlook
on a computer that is logged into the network.
