I am trying to configure Outlook 2003 for multiple email
accounts. I have so far set up 4 different profiles to
go with the 4 different accounts that I would like to
check with outlook. On startup of Outlook 2003 I have an
option of which account to check and once I select the
account, it opens right up and everything is working fine
except that I would now like to use a password log on so
that each ac count can have some privacy. 2 are mine and
I have one for my wife. I would like it to request a
password before it opens her account etc.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
 
The only way to do this is to password protect the .PST file used in each
profile. If the folder list isn't visible in Outlook, click View | Folder
List. Right-click the root folder of the .PST file (usually "Personal
Folders" or "Outlook Today"), click Properties on the popup menu, click the
Advanced button on the General tab, then click Change Password. Be VERY
careful not to forget the password, as it is neither easy nor cheap to get
back into your file without it. (There may be third party programs that
claim to make it easy, but I wouldn't want to risk it...)
