Ok... so, basically, she wants to password-protect your Outlook Express =
account/identity from her husband, but doesn't want to actually lock him =
out of Windows.=20
Here's a pretty good walk-thru on how to do it. Have her follow this, =
and if she or you have a question on it just let us know.

lets see if I can explain better,
she uses a laptop, he has his own pc.
he set up her account through our local cable company.
shes a newbie in every sense of the word....so I help her.
She does not want him reading or changing anything on her laptop
its confusing to her...thus she asked about a password.
I told her I could password windows and he cant access anything
she thought he would get really mad, so the next option was her mail.
they have a strange marriage to say the least.she needs the laptop to
have contact with her son who is in Iraq for the third time.she is home=20
bound with
a rare illness.....her laptop is her connection to everyone else.

I'm lost. I thought you had different users on ONE computer sharing =
outlook
express. If they each have their own computer and their own email =
address
(which requires a password to receive mail or to view it online) why do =
they
need to password outlook express when they can password their Windows =
log-on
and protect ALL of their data instead of just email?
Apparently there is a privacy or security breach somewhere that you want =
to
patch. In order to best answer your question I need to understand what =
that
breach is.
To answer your original question... yes, OE can be password protected. =
I
described how in an earlier message. Email accounts on the email server =
are
also password protected. Most people have OE remember that password, =
but it
can be set to require input every time you check your mail as described =
by
Cristy in an earlier message. The email server may also require a =
password
to SEND mail. Neither server password offers any protection to the =
email
once it is downloaded to your computer.
Son can not download daughter's email to his computer without the server
password for her account. Likewise, Daughter can not download son's =
email
to her computer without his email account password.
If Mom or anyone else has an Admisitrator account on both computers, she =
can
do anything she wants to on both of them.
If the Administrator account is not password protected ANYBODY can do
anything they want on them.
If both son and daughter have user accounts on both computers and either =
or
both were given the wrong administrator privileges you may have a =
nightmare
waiting for the first person to fall asleep... especially if either or =
both
are teenagers.
If they share the same master internet account and do so through a home
network, you should check your file sharing access to be sure they can =
not
access each others message store across the network.
