You can assign a password to your PST file (if your mail is stored on a
PST file), but this is also weak and can easily be disabled.

There are other methods, like logging off when leaving your desk, and
user-protecting your PST file (if it resides on an NTFS partition).
These are Windows basics, not particular to Outlook.
