Hi!

Why password protect a folder in your own inbox ?

Instead let all users have their own mailboxes.

you can use shutdown.exe from the resource kit and then schedule the command using the NT AT scheduler or WINAT from the resource kit.

You may or maynot be able to password-protect the ‘Test’ folder however you can assign access permissions to the users.

To do this Click on the properties of the ‘Test’ folder. Next click on the ‘Administration’ Tab and assign permissions accordingly

instead of making a folder under inbox, a better option wd be to make a new set of folders from control panel–>mail and fax options in your profile. you can add a paasword to the foldes from there.

I do not know any way that you can password protect the folders under you PST, but I have several inboxes and my different inboxes have different passwords.

Example:
I have a helpdesk.pst, in that inbox, I have folders for different software. Iuse that to answer questions that re-occur frequently, and then I have an inbox that is for storing my things. One of my inbox is on my local hard drive the other is on the network. You can either setup your mail to open both inboxes when you initially open your mail. If you put a different password on both inboxes, of course, you will be prompted to type both passwords.

Or, you could always have one inbox (mailbox.pst) and open the 2nd inbox (mailbox2.pst) from File, Open, Open Personal Folders. That would make your folders in that inbox more secure. Also, if you keep the folders in the mailbox2.pst closed, it is un-noticable to others unless they are actually looking very hard. No one has ever commented about the two inboxes (personal folders) that
