my inbox is always accessible.....why?

I have Outlook 2002 and prefer to use it over Express.
When I launch Outlook I am asked to choose a profile then
hit OK. Outlook immediately opens and my inbox is
accessible without entering my password. For me to get
my new mail, I then need to enter a password. Is there
anybody that can tell me how I set it up so that my
profile AND password is entered before Outlook opens and
inbox appears (Express does this....why doesn't
Outlook)? This really doesn't secure my inbox from
people.
 
you need to password your pst file. Right click on the outlook today folder
and choose properties, then Advanced. Add a password.
 
does this mean now that I have to enter 2
passwords....one after I enter I choose my profile and
then the pst password?

does it make sense now that I have to enter 2 passwords
now: one after choosing profile and one pst password?

Did you click the option to save your password for the POP3 access?
