set security password to stop acess

[Pines]

Hi, Just updated to vista, I was using outlook express before and I was able
to open my email account , but i set it up so that you had to put in a
password to stop acess by other people. Can you do this to window mail
because every time you open it it goes stragiht to the account and displays
the emails. Can you add a password to enter before it displays the emails.

Thankjs

Whatever you were doing in OE, it going to be the same way for WM. As you'll
see everything is the same between the two. WM just has a few more bells on
but it's basically the same OE - functions in the same spot done the same
way as in OE.

Windows Mail and WLM don't have identities or a password option.
Security is provided by your Vista account password. Don't let others use
your account, create their own accounts if they need to use your computer.
Logout or lock (Winkey-L) your computer while you are away.

No. You're expected to password protect your Windows User Account instead.

Besides, it never was any real protection, anyway.
