Windows Mail security/passwords

I would like to establish a password for my windows mail so that if my laptop
is left unattended my email is secure. Is there a way for windows mail to
prompt for a password before displaying my email?
Thanks in advance
 
Uncheck "Remember password" located under the server tab
of your email account properties settings.

When you set up the email account in Windows Mail, you also include a
username and password, which is your Internet Service Provider's Username and
Password given to you to connect to the Internet.

Where you put the Mail Servers, username and password, don't tick to
remember the Password.

Like the other posters say, your only option is to not store login
information for each e-mail account.

I think perhaps it would be a better idea for you to just use (or set) the
Vista user account password, and hit Winkey+L whenever you leave your laptop
unattended.

Windows Mail and WLM don't have identities or a password option.
Security is provided by your Vista account password. Don't let others use
your account, create their own accounts if they need to use your computer.
Logout or lock (Winkey-L) your computer while you are away.
