how to lock and add password to protect outlook?
read from some articles that the folder has an option
of "Properties --> Advanced--> change password". However,
i cannot find such settings.
I'm using win XP and outlook 2002.
PLease help. Thanks.

Individual folders in a personal folders file cannot be password protected.
To password protect the entire personal folders file, right click on
personal folders and select properties | advanced | change password.

Please make sure that you don't lose/forget that password as there are no
utilities from Microsoft that can recover or reset the password.

Hiyas Anthea

as far as i know, you have to make a diff between the
default mailboxes (ie inbox etc) and 'personal folders'.

The last, you can password protect in the way you described
yourself
The regular boxes cannot be password protected seperately i
think, since they are already protected by your
email-account password.

hope this helped - even if its a lil
