Log off/log out definitely in WLM 12.x (desktop).
Currently, I am using Windows Live Mail 12.0 (desktop) running Windows XP SP3.
How can I definitely log off/log out in WLM 12.0 (as with the e-mail account of Hotmail.com/live.com, etc.)? Pressing the "X" in the upper right corner is not enough as I can easily (without a password!) log in/log on after the before mentioned action. I am looking forward to any advice on this matter. Thanking you in advance. Kind regards.

Password your Windows user and log off the Windows user.

Thank you for the answer. Log off the Windows user account is what I normally
do (everyday). However, the desktop has a family and a business account. These accounts are available to various users, in order to have access to the different files on the desktop. Definitely log off/log out in WLM will be the answer to an unauthorised access to the Windows Live Mail-account.

Email programs typically do not control access with a password.
That includes WLM. You may want to set up a separate Windows user for your email, if it needs to be kept private. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Indicium" wrote in message news  Thank you for the answer.

Yes, it needs to be kept private. I am not happy with it, but a separate
account seems to be the only solution. Thank you for the answer! However, I do not agree with the logic behind it! Sharing files and working with an e-mail account in the same time by a specific user is a common practise. Microsoft sees that apparently different. Kind regards.
