How do you set Entourage to start up only after a password prompt
(similar to Outlook)? I have tried the Account settings, Save Password
in Keychain box, but Entourage still opens whether that is on/off,
with full access to my email. It is not our company policy to password
lock our Macs, so I am looking for an Entourage password access
solution. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Here's the info: you can't do it that way, and it would be a silly way to
attempt to protect privacy, since it wouldn't work very well. (They tried it
once back in Outlook Express in OS 8.)
Instead, do it properly, using the iron-clad privacy of separate users on OS
X. Every user of the computer should have their own OS "account" (see System
Preferences/Accounts). That can be protected by a rigid password that cannot
be circumvented. Nevertheless, using "Fast User Switching" also available in
OS 10.3 in the same place (each user can enable Fast User Switching in
"Login Options" there), you can immediately switch to your own user without
the previous user having to quit any apps or log out. It's brilliant. Each
user has access to his own Entourage data only. Mission accomplished.
