Default Password for Message Rules ??

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

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.

Thanks Kath,

Nope, they don't have separate email accounts. They're both using the same
email address.

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.

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
