Security on New Email Address

[Mary]

I am getting some really dirty spam. I opened a new e-mail account hoping to use the old as a default for when anyone is on the internet so that I can keep the new one clean. When I open Outlook I don't want my email account to open automatically and if I am not there I don't want someone else to access it. However as soon as I open Outlook I am prompted to open my new account and unless I sign in my password I cannot receive mail for the old account, I get a mail error message. How can I keep my new mail private and let others access the other account automatically?

Let's approach this from another angle: Who else uses your computer? Is
this a home computer or an office machine? Do the people accessing your
machine all use Outlook? If so, what do they use it for? Do they need to
see any of your stuff (calendar, tasks, mail) or not?

Also, what version of Outlook are you using, and if 98 or 2000, what mail
support mode? If you're not sure, look at the second line of Help | About
Microsoft Outlook -- it should say "Internet Mail Only" or
"Corporate/Workgroup". (Outlook 97, 2002, and 2003 don't have separate
modes.)
