Default password upon opening OE

Hi,
I use OE to do my mailings..
When I click the OE icon, the programm opens and everybody can read the
mails I was wend.
Is it possible to prevent this?
Ex: asking for a password before the programm starts
password-protecting folders

Or can I use other programms "Eudora???" that can handle this?

Thanks
JP

There is no email program which can hide your email from prying eyes.
Whomever has access to your console has access to your data. With Windows
XP, the best option is to use the Windows+L key, which locks access to the
console (assumes your user account is password protected). If you have
multiple users who access a single computer, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and
Windows 7 allow for the creation of password protected user accounts. Other
than different OS user accounts, there is no way to prevent casual
inspection of your email.

Default password upon opening OE

File, Identities, Manage Identities, select the identity and Properties.
You can require a password.

This will stop the casual user from accidentally reading your mail. But
a knowledgeable user can get around it.

See Norman's response for a more secure method.
