Password protect Outlook  email this discussion to a friend?

Do you use password protection for your outlook express? Do you know you can give the password to your outlook so at the time of opening only, it asks for the same.

Here is the procedure.....
On the Go menu, click Folder List.
Do one of the following:
If you have a POP3 e-mail account, right-click the Personal Folders folder, and then click Properties For "Personal Folders" on the shortcut menu.
If you have an HTTP e-mail account (not supported in Outlook 2000), such as MSNĀ® HotmailĀ®, right-click the Hotmail folder, and then click Properties For "Hotmail" on the shortcut menu.
On the General tab, click Advanced.
Click Change Password.
In the Change Password dialog box, type your new password and verify it by typing it a second time. The password can be up to 15 characters.
Note Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

Make sure that the Save this password in your password list check box is cleared. This prevents the password from being cached, and you need to type the password each time you run Outlook. Don't forget the password.
Click OK three times.

I have tried it in Outlook 2007, but I guess it should work in office 2003 too as at microsoft site only, it's written it will be applied to office 2000+..

well yes i think that is a very important thing that you have pointed out. but i guess most of the users who use outlook will know about this feature because it a very basic and important feature that everyone will like to have because if you are accessing your mails online then you need password. but in outlook without password its like an open book. any one can open and see the mails and can even send them if you save your password.

hmm.. that's why I searched for the password protection for Outlook, I have just started to use Outlook before that I was using IBM mail software.
