I ve been on the intertubes looking for a way to put a password onto outlook.
Found some things off Google but they dont seem to marry up with the version of outlook that we are using here.
And before you day use outlook help, I have. Its the first time I have used it but it dosnt tell me how to do it if you can...
Please help OB1 
what exactly do you mean, put a password onto outlook?
If your on a networked domain (windows), and outlook is tool used to view your exchange email, then your domain username and password (used to log you onto your windows pc) is what lets you in.
Hi Doggie,
If you are not at work and your employer needs to have someone cover your role - then I would think that the person covering will need to get access to both incoming and sent (work) Emails... after all, it's a company asset provided as a tool to get the job done. I know if staff are off sick here, I get IT to give me access to their Login so that I can put an 'out of office' reply on and forward the Email to another employee... just to keep things flowing.
If you are concerned about staff access your private stuff, then set up a private Email account using Yahoo or other web based service - they are free - and you can password that. That's what I do.
Ok doggie..need more info..
"looking for a way to put a password onto outlook"
is it outlook express, Just outlook ?
if it is outlook express is it outlook express 6?
and do you want to password your whole email account
or would you like to password protect a folder within your email account?
yes I know questions questions
ok have to run..
but you can password protect a file in outlook but not the email account
(.)(.).
So perhaps a silly question - why are they using your login details to login to that PC anyway?
If you are off sick shouldn't they be using a different login?
We all know how to get into each others pc we have to but email is different because if it's work email we generally all get them. It is just one person making the problem but they are also not owning up to deleting the emails, hence password required. I gonna give GDs idea a crack and see what happens.
Yea they don't bit but they ain't good, I do a lot myself. Don't get me started on that one.
Outlook?? Express or not, I thought everybody stopped using them back in Win 98.
If you got a boss who insists on you using it, he/she is a bit of a prick but not as big a prick as my boss.
He is me.[}:)]
you could create another email alias and then switch alias. you can then password protect i think
(.)(.).
We use outlook for emails & calendar for timesheets and have access to each other's calendars/emails...good for company transparency, not good for privacy!
Doggie, you're bascially stuffed.
The only way to solve your issue is to deal with the issue of users using the one account (yours) to access the computer.
Sometimes there are reasons for this like when multiple users need to to access a single computer in a short period of time and logging of an on is not efficient enough.
But other than that, all employees accessing a work computer should have their own logins. It's the only solution...
from there....if there is an issue with other people needing to access work emails that are sent directly to you...you need to speak with IT about creating a generic email account...this can than be accessed by all who has been given access.
If your IT knows how to do their job this will take them 5 minutes to set up.
