I'm trying to help a friend set up his Outlook Express (that's a big mistake
to begin with). Anyway, he has a daughter that is a bit 'challenged' and has deleted some of his emails by mistake. I would like to set up separate identities with different Message Rules. This would allow emails to be delivered to his identity and hers to her identity. Although we do want her to have access to Outlook Express, my concern is that she will eventually tamper with the Message Rules and defeat the entire plan. Is there some method of putting a password on the Message Rules so that they can not be changed? Thanks for your thoughts. Ed |

Ed Assuming they both have seperate email accounts, and not alias's of one account, then just set up two identities and password protect the ID's. Each will have it's own set of rules. If she mucks up hers, then so be it. -- Kath Adams MS MVP - Windows (Outlook Express) |

Thanks Kath,
Nope, they don't have separate email accounts. They're both using the same email address. Ed "Kath Adams" wrote in message ...

No. If she can get into the identity, she can change the message rules.
If the issue is that they are sharing a single mail account and want to keep there mail separate, the better way is to get separate mail account for each. If their ISP doesn't offer truly separate accounts, then look into something such as one of them using a gmail account which allows free POP3 access. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Ed" wrote in message ...

Ok, thanks Mike,
I didn't think there was a way to password protect just the message rules, but thought I would ask. We'll have to go to plan "B". Thanks, Ed "Michael Santovec" wrote in message ...
