Email can sometimes contain sensitive and personal information. So wouldn’t it be great if we can password protect some of those sensitive emails? You can password protect those sensitive emails so that if a friend or guest is using your computer they wont be able to see those emails. Luckily, Outlook has that option.
Here is what you need to do:
1) Startup Outlook
2) Go to File –> New –> Outlook Data File
3) Then select the Office Outlook Personal Folders (.pst) option and press OK.
4) Give the file that will contain your password-protected emails a name and press ok.
5) Then give the folder that will contain your password protected emails a name. (ie secure emails) Put in a password and don’t select the save this password in your password list. This way every time anyone who opens up your outlook and clicks on that particular folder (ie secure emails) will need a password to read emails in that folder. Then press ok.
6) Now you should see the folder (ie secure email) in your Outlook
7) Now begin to move the email you want to be password protected into that folder you just created (ie secure email)
8) From now-on everything you open up outlook, you will be prompted to enter a password.
