Re: how do i password protect my email account

Sorry, like most other Windows programs, Windows Mail is not
password-protected. If you need the extra security, use a Windows
log-in, and log out when you're done.

By password protecting your Windows User.
However, the messages are still stored in plain text, readable by anyone who
knows what they're doing.
