Default Security

I haven't had to use a password to sign into Outlook Express. I would like
to have more security. What should I do?

Default Security

File | Identities | Manage Identities | Properties. You can set up a
password here, but it's far from foolproof.

From Help:

You can configure your identity to prompt you for a password when you log on
or switch from another identity. This prevents users who do not know your
password from logging on as you. The password is also required to delete the
identity, or change the identity settings.
Adding a password to your identity makes it more difficult for other users
to access your files; however, the level of security the password provides
is minimal. Even with a password, it is possible for other users to access
your files.
