Hi Danny,
I really don't think that having a password on a OST would be that secure and
for that matter having one on a PST is easily cracked in a matter of minutes.
Your best solution is to use NT / 2000 / XP and have your users lock their
desktop when they are away. Keep in mind any Operating System, including Linux,
MAC OS and even Solaris can be broken into if you have physical access to the
system.

To *help* prevent unauthorized access to the email stored on the local
file system. For the same reasons that you would password protect a
PST.

http://www.MSExchange.org/ Have you found a way to password protect an Outlook
2003 OST when used in (Exchange) Cached Mode? Similar to the way you can
password protect a PST.
Thank you,
