Password on InboxI'm using Outlook 2003 on my company network, and I want to set a
password on my Outlook Inbox, so that anyone who accesses Outlook on my laptop, will not be able to view e-mails without the password. I need to give someone a loan of the laptop, to do some checks whilst I am out of the country, and I don't want them snooping arouond my e- mail. I've already got a password on my personal folders, and just wondered if one could be set on my Inbox as well. TIA Duncs Your in-box is IN your personal folders. Can you open Outlook without a password currently? If yes, then please explain what you mean by in-box versus personal folders.

When I open Outlook, I am placed in my Inbox, which appears under an entry titled "Mailbox - Duncs". Under this, there is 'Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Junk E-Mail, Outbox, Sent Items and Search Folders'. Outwith this, as a separate tree level, there is my 'Personal Fodlers'. When I open Outlook, I am in my Inbox folder. When I then try to expand my 'Personal Folders', I am prompted for a password. What I would like to do, is put a password on my Inbox or on opening Outlook, so that no one can load Outlook and snoop about my e-mails. Does this make sense?
