Hey ... really new to the whole Mac thing ... and Entourage so please go easy on me ,,, lol
I have a son who uses my Macbook Pro every once and a while, and Yesterday found him going through my email (Entourage 08)
At work I can lock down my access to email ... sort'a like a username and password .. or just password to gain access to my email.
Is there anyway to do this in Entourage 08 ??
I don't want to setup a share for him cause he is rarely here, and it is a big pain in the ass ...
It could also help if my laptop gets stolen ....
Thx

As JollyRoger has pointed out, System User Accounts are the way to go.
they are secure and will protect ALL your data, not just (apparently)
your email records.
