In Microsoft Outlook, it is possible to prevent others from accessing
your mail, contacts, and calendars by assigning a password to your personal
folders.

To add a password to your personal folders, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Start, point to Settings and click Control Panel.
|
| 2. | In Control Panel, double-click the Mail And Fax icon.
|
| 3. | On the Services tab, click to select Personal Folders and click
Properties.
|
| 4. | In Personal Folders dialog box, click Change Password.
|
| 5. | In the Change Password dialog box, type your new password and verify
it by typing it a second time.
|
| 6. | Make sure that the "Save this password in your password list" check box
is cleared (not checked). This prevents the password from being cached.
You will need to type it each time you run Outlook.
|
| 7. | After you have entered the password successfully, click OK three times.
|
The next time you start Outlook, you will be prompted to type a password
before viewing the contents of the personal folders.
