I work in an office that currently is using Outlook for OS 9 in Classic. We
have Entourage X installed on most of them, but we are currently not
employing it, as we've been unable to figure out how to make Entourage
more secure.
Outlook, for example, will only open an Exchange server email account after
a password has successfully been entered. Unless offline folders have been
configured, the only way to access email is with a proper password and
username.
When Entourage is opened, however, it automatically opens the inbox for
the user (or the most recently used identity in the 2004 version) and
prompts for a password to retrieve new mail. However, if you cancel out of
the password, you can still read email that has already been retrieved from
the server, thus creating an email security risk.
Is there a way to password protect Entourage (either v. X or 2004) so that no
email can be accessed (whether previously retrieved or not) without a
password?
Also, is there a setting to prompt the user which identity to use when
launching the application, so as to not give multiple users on the same
machine access to other people's email? And giving different Mac OS X
logins to each individual user (Microsoft's official support solution) is
unacceptable. Our operating methods often do not facilitate giving different
logins to each user on a machine.
Thanks,
Phil
