Password protect your .pst file (all contents) by right clicking on the root of your mailbox, select Properties, then Advanced. Set your password from there and DON'T FORGET IT!!! And remember, once you open Outlook, anyone can read your mails. You must close it when you leave the computer or use a password protected screensaver.

You cannot use Word as your editor in Outlook 2007 as it is already using a small stub of Word for editing. That advice (sometimes good) applied to older versions of Outlook/Office.

After furious head scratching, darbfred asked:

| Just purchased office with Word & Outlook 2007. Had trouble initially
| getting Outlook running - kept asking for a password and finally I
| created a new profile and was able to get it working.
|
| Then, I decided to try the calendar. Entered a couple of
| appointments and a pop-up window came up asking for my username
| (which was already there) and password.
|
| First question - is this normal?
|
| Second question - is there a way to password-protect Outlook? I use s
| shared computer and would like to keep my email private, if possible.
|
| Third question - someone told me to use Word as the "Email editor."
| Why would I need to do this? Where do I find settins for this?
|
| Thanks for all the help.
