In addition to what John said, you need to activate a password-protected screen saver on your computer and have it kick in after 5 minutes of inactivity. This protects your entire computer, including all Outlook data.

After furious head scratching, Duncs asked:
| Milly,
|
| When I open Outlook, I am placed in my Inbox, which appears under an
| entry titled "Mailbox - Duncs". Under this, there is 'Deleted Items,
| Drafts, Inbox, Junk E-Mail, Outbox, Sent Items and Search Folders'.
| Outwith this, as a separate tree level, there is my 'Personal
| Fodlers'.
|
| When I open Outlook, I am in my Inbox folder. When I then try to
| expand my 'Personal Folders', I am prompted for a password. What I
| would like to do, is put a password on my Inbox or on opening Outlook,
| so that no one can load Outlook and snoop about my e-mails.
|
| Does this make sense?
|
| Duncs

|| Your in-box is IN your personal folders. Can you open Outlook
|| without a password currently? If yes, then please explain what you
|| mean by in-box versus personal folders.

||
||| I'm using Outlook 2003 on my company network, and I want to set a
||| password on my Outlook Inbox, so that anyone who accesses Outlook on
||| my laptop, will not be able to view e-mails without the password.
|||
||| I need to give someone a loan of the laptop, to do some checks
||| whilst I am out of the country, and I don't want them snooping
||| arouond my e- mail. I've already got a password on my personal
||| folders, and just wondered if one could be set on my Inbox as well.
