How do I password protect a folder in my inbox when there are two.

I share outlook with my mother-in-law and she has the tendency to look in my
in folder, and I wanted to know how I could block her from doing that. By
putting a password on my folder. I have Office XP. Is it possible to
password protect a folder?

No, but if you are running Windows XP or 2000 you can set up a separate user
for your mother-in-law where she will not be able to see any of your email.
Or any other documents come to that.

Have granny use her own mail profile. Then password protect your mail
profile. She will have to use her own to read her e-mails. Otherwise,
get a real operating system. Windows 9x/ME have no user/file security,
so get Windows 2000/XP which will create separate user profiles for each
user which have permissions to prevent non-admin users from seeing each
other's files.

If you have Windows XP on the computer, create a separate login for you and
your mother-in-law. Then she won't be able to see anything of yours.
