Privacy in opening window

I am using Outlook with MS Exchange Server at work. It seems that there is a
security breach that I cannot rectify:

I have to login with password to send/recieve, so no problems there, but
when I open Outlook, if I choose to cancel out of the 'enter password'
window, I can't send/recieve, but I certainly can view anything in my
mailbox. Thus, so can anyone else that uses the computer.

I really don't want to create a separate Windows password-protected profile.
I'd much rather secure Outlook by prohibiting multiple users from seeing each
other's e-mails --not just prevent them from acquiring one another's new
emails.

Using Outlook with a pop3 acct, I am able to password protect my local .pst
files, and nobody can even open them to view anything. But the Exchange
Server has my .pst files, and I am not able to secure them.

What can I do to make my emails private WITHIN Outlook (or do I really just
have to secure Windows??)?

Thanks
 
You should set the profile to prompt for a username and profile and not use
NT authentication. That way every time you need to open Outlook you have to
submit your credentials and you can exit Outlook when you walk away from the
PC.
I take it this is a communal PC?
 
Are you connecting to an Exchange or other mail server? In the Control Panel
mail applet, if you highlight the server and click on the properties button,
then in the Advanced tab in the window that comes up, you can set the Logon
Network Security to None. Then in Outlook, click on Tools, Options, Mail
services. In the start up settings, change to prompt for a profile.
 
Logon Network Security has only 3 authentication options:
Kerberos
NTLM
Kerberos/NTLM

there is no 'none' :(
 
Hi Kathleen,

I have figured it out... for future reference:

under the e-mail Accout Settings for the Exchange Server acct, I simply
unchecked the 'Used Cached Exchange Mode'. This gives a logon option prior to
opening the remote .pst file rather than just when sending/recieving. Makes
sense to me. Thanks for your help.

David
