Live Mail Password protection

Is there a way to set a Password on Live MAIL? This is important feature
that was available with Outlook Express. The Profile Password is not good
enough, there needs to be a password on the MAIL application itself.

RE: Live Mail Password protection

I am having the same problem. I keep checking the box to save name &
password, but each time the software loads, a pop-up box asks for the
information again! This has just started recently, maybe there was an update
to the software that left this out, but it's getting OLD fast.

The "Password Protection" feature of MS Outlook Express was a fake. It
protected nothing. If you had access to the file system, you had access to
the MSOE files; all of them. A simple matter to import from the MSOE .dbx
files into your own MSOE Identity, from your buddy's password "protected"
Identity. Just access his .dbx files.

Fortunately, Windows XP does offer that which MSOE does not, true password
protection of the user's files. Just create password protected user accounts
in the OS. When you leave the computer, lock your account, or log off. The
other use won't have access to any of your files.
