Product Description:
This script is a password protection script for Microsoft Outlook Express and Microsoft Entourage. The script provides the same level of security found in Outlook Express version 4.x. The script prompts you for a password when your emailer is launched. It also allows you to change your password and set certain characteristics of the script via a built-in user interface. The script has full support for multiple identities.
What's new in this version:
- Changed the code for opening and closing the Main window and for obtaining the current identity into raw event code. This prevents AppleScript from asking you to locate "Outlook Express" or "Microsoft Entourage" if you do not have it installed. The bad side effect of this is that you have to edit some parts of the script each time you save the script, or the script will generate errors the next time you run it. If you edit the script, please read the IMPORTANT NOTICE at the top of the script and follow the instructions for best results.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS Classic
Additional Requirements:
- Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x or Entourage
- Dialog Director (Scripting Addition)

in Outlook Express 4.x was rather weak, which Microsoft recognized. Once OS 9 became available with multiple users password protection, Microsoft abandoned the OE password, saying the OS password afforded much better protection.

nifty little thing. Easy to install. Dunno why Microsoft pulled the password option in the first place. Interesting, I found a way to bypass this script. Simply go to Hardrive/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Identitiy (granted if you followed the directions and installed the script into this folder... you can easily bypass the password by changing the "Main User" folder name and enter the default "changeme" password... works every time! Just don't tell this to anybody.
