Outlook Express Security

[Sal]

I'm under the impression that before anybody gets access
to my Email (Outlook express) a password is needed, I
found out that by closing the windows that ask for my
password anybody can read my email; sometimes it doesn't
even asks for a password, it just opens right to all my
emails, anyways...is this supposed to happen???

I have several people in my household that use my
computer and I'd like to keep my email private, how can I
fix this???

any help would be appreciated! thanks.

when you exit from outlook express, what you need to do
is not click the X, but instead click File>Exit and
Logoff Identity. Closing outlook only ends your outlook
express session instead of logging you out. its annoying
but nobody ever said outlook express was prize wining
stuff to begin with......

Why not set them up with other user accounts in XP and keep your password a
secret?
