Hiding Cached e-mails in Oulook using RPC over HTTPs?

[boe]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this should go here or outlook but I have a client who loves
RPC over HTTPs using Outlook2003 SP2 attached to Exchange 2003. However
they don't like that anyone can open Outlook and although they don't know
the password, they can see cached e-mails. They want to keep the caching
but want to have outlook only open after a password has been entered.

Thanks

Show your client how to lock their workstation with a screen saver password. That will protect *all* their data, not just Outlook.

Thanks - I should have mentioned - my client isn't willing to do that.

He's operating under conflicting desires, then.

Well that's the best and maybe even the only solution. Too bad the client doesn't want to use it.

Yeah - clients always make me think of things I never thought about though
so they do have a reasonable request in my opinion. I'm doing a lot more
RPC rollouts these days and this isn't the first time someone asked but this
client was pretty concerned so I thought I'd post it.

FWIW, it has nothing to do with RPC over HTTPS. The Cached Exchange mode connectivity works the same via TCP/IP.

Then try this workaround - have Outlook open to an empty folder that you
create specifically for this purpose. Call it Start-Up and place it under
the Root folder. Then select that folder to be the opening folder. with no
emails in the folder, there is nothing to read.

Heh Heh! I have taken to using that at work with my nosy co-workers who
just "happen" by when I am logging on.
