Does anyone know how to password protect personal folders in outlook 2003. Tell us what you mean by "doesn't work". The best way is to password-protect your Windows account and log out or lock it before walking away from the PC. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Does anyone know how to password protect personal folders in outlook 2003. "doesn't work" was supposed to provide all the details that account for the failure? The password is asked only when you start Outlook. The password is inside the .pst file so it is when Outlook loads that message store that it prompts for the password. If you leave Outlook running then the message store remains loaded so you won't get prompted again. You must exit and reload Outlook to again get the password prompt. Since you are NOT supposed to be sharing a Windows login with other users (i.e., each user gets their own separate Windows account), why do you care if you are prompted only once during your entire Windows session on the first load of Outlook? Mail applet in Control Panel Data files Select the message store Settings Change Password Did you select the "Save this password in your password list" option? Or did you leave it unselected? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829971 http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...308911033.aspx If selected, you don't get prompted because the cached password for the message store is saved under your Windows account. If you want it to appear every time you load Outlook then you need to deselect this option. |
