loopers.. we are the MICROSOFT ERADICATION SOCIETY. are you that fucking stupid that you come to a site where EVERYBODY is talking shit about windows/microsoft and praising open source and freedom, and expect us to help you with an outlook express problem?? the best solution is to get rid of outlook, and install something better. again, we are the MICROSOFT ERADICATION SOCIETY, not joe blows tech support for the illiterate.
with that said, id suggest using something like mozilla, it has a very nice email client. and then whomever is using your computer can continue to use outlook, while you enjoy the freedom of mozilla. as for securing your email, format your "c" drive and install linux. that way you can keep microsoft from looking at your email as well.

voidmain:
I honestly believe that he/she doesn't understand the meaning of the word "eradication". And I can't figure out why his/her previous posts here have returned similar replies referring him/her to http://www.windowsbbs.com/ (but in a nicer way), where people are drooling all over themselves to give bad advice to such a poor sap, that he doesn't follow said advice. This is the kind of response he/she can expect from me until he/she is ready to give something other that Micro$hit a try.

Doctor V:
Loopers, I will try to help you with your problem.  The truth is, even if you do come up with some sort of password protection for outlook express, there is a high chance that the mail could be leaked out.  Outlook Expresshas been knows as one of the least secure programs on the market.  The best way for you to ensure people can't read your mail is to use a different mail client.  There is one called Evolution that works almost exactly like Lookout Express, but is much much more secure.  Changing mail clients might not be as hard as you think.  If you are willing to try this, and arn't sure how, just ask, you'll have secure e-mail in a jiffie.  In the long run it is the only way, and yes this will require you to do exactly what void main said.

well, as voidmain said, lookout is in no way shape or form secure. a different mail client would be in order if security was a must.
