create a password for mail-account???

[sliverfl]

hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can set a
password for my mail accounts in windows XP?
As I am using office XP on my computer I also use Outlook!
But whenever I sign on to outlook I can choose any mail
account without using a password.
I can access every e-mail even if it's not for me then,
and i don't like the idea, that everyone can start the
outlook and can access every single e-mail in every
account. So please help.

thanks

I'm new around here, and use Outlook Express instead of Outlook, but maybe
an understanding of how it works in Outlook Express might help you. If not,
at least I took a stab at it.

In Outlook Express, I click Tools, click Accounts, click Mail, click
Properties, click Servers.
If the Password box has a password, then you already have a password for
your email account.
If the Remember Password box is checked, then you never had to reenter the
password, when accessing your account.
In order to force entry of a password, uncheck the check box, and remove the
value from the Password box.

The fact that you didn't get a response for over 2 hours might indicate you
came to the wrong newsgroup. For problems related to Outlook, try using a
newsgroup related to Outlook. This newsgroup is dedicated to problems with
