Use Windows User accounts and have each person who has access to the PC
to have their own account.

And make sure each user is not an Administrator that can access the other
user accounts.

Hello
I am the only user and admin.
My question should have read,"I have read the password for O.E. is weak.
Should I be concerned about intrusion from outside the house, or is the
'weak' comment about other users in my house?"

If you're the only one that touches the computer, then this is a moot issue.
No one is going to hack into your computer to read your e-mail. Unless
you've got the FBI or DHS watching you.
