Password Lock for Windows Live Mail

Hi,

Is there a way to make Windows Live Mail to prompt for a password before it
could actually open the program. Because I feel the mails are not secure as
the messages that have already been downloaded are visible and I see no
security options.

I only have one email application with any kind of security lock: Pegasus
Mail. This application, unlike MS Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, or
others, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, is network aware, and can lock data by
file access permissions, as well as by user name and password.

For MS Outlook Express, especially on Win9x systems, the password security
of Identities was illusory; Win9x systems give all users the equivalent full
administrative access to the file system. On WinNT systems, through Windows
XP, the user account privileges are in effect. If anybody has access as the
current logged on user, they have access to that user's files, including the
MS Outlook Express message store.

With MSOE, or WLM, the *only* effective security of email data in a WinXP
environment is to enforce LUAs with password protected log on. Each user,
who doesn't want others to have access to his email messages, must have his
own Limited User Account, it must be password protected, and he must log off
when he is finished with his session. Allowing all users to access a common
user session is to give all users access to all data in the file system; and
no application, that I know of, can secure its data against review by
another users accessing the same user session.

Do multiple people use your computer?
Microsoft recommends that for true security, each user should have
their own Windows user login. All other forms of security (like OE's
Identities), are illusionary.

Thank you Miller for your valuable time in clearing my doubt. So WLM surely
is not the right option for multiple users........will try out with Pegasus
Mail instead per your advise.

Be aware that Pegasus Mail has a steep learning curve; it is not at all like
MS Outlook Express, or Windows Live Mail.
